Became tired of guessing and got air and water thermometers. Here are some averages off the top of my head for the Pacific side south of Laguna San
Ignacio/North of Mag bay.
June (D) 88-92 (N) 66-74 (W) 54- 72
July (D) 92-98 (N) 70-75 (W)70-76
August (D)94-99+ (N) 74-80 (W)75-79
Sept (D) 92-98 (N)72- 76 (W)77-84
There's almost always some kind of wind here except between 11pm and 2am. Very rarely is it too hot to sleep (as long as you have access to fans
all night). Mostly happens when monsoonal flow comes up from the south associated with tropical activity- August but most often Sept.
When the palm on the palapa starts to look damp and the wind swings around to come from the SE, the water can warm up to near-Cabo temps. It only
takes a day of the usual dry NW wind to drop it back down 6 degrees.
Doesn't sound like much but there's a big difference between 78 and 84 (ahhh) degree water.
The only time you won't need long sleeves at night is July/August (if you're out in the elements,like camping).
I'll try to pay closer attention to the humidity, but as I recall it averages 60% or so.
