Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.
Water temperature data for this location is gathered from various sources, including buoys and satellite sea and ocean surface maps provided by the NOAA agency. We also incorporate data from local authorities in each specific location worldwide to ensure more accurate temperature readings.
Annual Water Temperature Overview by Month

Annual Water Temperature Trend
El Sgto, a small coastal settlement on the Gulf of California in Baja California Sur, experiences water temperatures that vary noticeably through the year. In winter months the sea typically cools to around 19–23 °C, while spring brings a gradual warming to roughly 22–26 °C. The warmest period is summer, when surface waters commonly reach about 26–31 °C, and early autumn usually holds temperatures near 24–28 °C as the ocean slowly loses heat. These ranges are typical for the sheltered bays and shallow sandy bottoms that characterize the area, though local conditions such as onshore winds, tides and occasional upwellings can cause short-term variations. Water clarity is often good in the warmer months, improving visibility for surface and nearshore activities.
