Climate
As mentioned on the main page, northern Baja weather is always fairly mild and sunny. The best months to experience Baja is September thru December. This is the sunniest, most mild, not hot; but breezy cool time of the year. Because you are so close to the ocean there is always a refreshingly cool breeze. This keeps weather pleasant every summer and into the latter part of the year.
There is 2 month period every spring when it becomes foggy and grey. This period is called May Gray and June Gloom. Basically, it is because the warmer air moves in colliding with cold ocean air. Many people leave Baja during this time because it is sort of like the Pacific Northwest. Some days will be nice but not too many. Some days it will start out foggy but by around 1 pm or 2pm , the skies will clear up.

the best months are undoubtedly November and December. The winds are just right, the sun is always out, the heat is bearable as the breezes are lovely off the ocean.
