Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast

✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating.

It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

Annual Water Temperature Trend

San Carlos, on the Baja California Sur coast of the Gulf of California, is a small seaside community known for its sheltered bays and sandy coves. Water temperatures here vary with the seasons: in winter months the sea typically cools to around 22–24 °C, in spring it rises to roughly 23–26 °C, summer brings the warmest conditions at about 26–30 °C, and autumn usually sees temperatures between 24–28 °C. Local weather patterns and occasional upwelling can produce short-term fluctuations, and deeper or more exposed spots may feel slightly cooler than the shallow, sun-warmed areas close to shore.
