Water temperature tip.
While there can be spells of cool and cold air temperatures in the Sea of Cortez as early as November, the water temperature normally stays quite warm as late as early December. We once recorded 88 degrees at Isla Partida during Thanksgiving. After that, the water temperature cools rapidly and dramatically, so forget swimming from La Paz north until March or April.
The bottom line is that the best times to cruise the fabled Sea of Cortez are the spring and fall. Winter is too cool for those who enjoy water sports and enjoy a good tan. Summer can be very warm - August and September are hot as Hades - but lots of folks still love it.
South of Mazatlan or Puerto Vallarta, the air and water temperatures are pleasant all year round. While some Northers blow down as far south as Mazatlan, they never reach Puerto Vallarta.
