Warm winters, hot summers tempered with breezes, describes La Paz's weather. The Baja is narrow at this point, so the Pacific Ocean has some influence on the weather here, making it cooler than settlements further up the sea of Cortez coast. It averages only 6 inches of rain per year, and most of that is in August and September. Winter temps in the 70°Fs and 80s°F, can get as low as 50°F at night, so bring warm clothes for camping. Water in the 70s °F, shorty is handy.
