Dear Nomads-
Looking to take a trip to Scorpion Bay / San Juanico / Punta Pequena in the month of late August...
Any leads of places to stay (I looked by VRBO)
Any ideas on temperatures / climate at that time (wasn't sure where to search on the internet for past climate history)...
My wife won't deal well with the super heat (like the east cape at that time of year) and I was wondering if you guys could give me a heads up on how
the temps / conditions are this time of year...
Any ideas on rentals and climate would be appreciated-

We were in Bahia Asuncion and Punta Abreojos in late August two years ago and it was definately not hot, at least not on the beach. Middle of the
desert as we drove south, then north home? Yes, hot.
The water was even too cool for us to skin it, about 60 degrees.

I was there this winter. We had planned to camp but the wind was too strong to think about setting up a tent. The Scorpion Bay Inn is a total rip off!
But the food was OK but limited. We ran into Jack & Angela and by chance he rents some of the houses for the folks that aren't there. This guy
knows the area! He couldn't have been more helpful. He did everything but tuck us in at night. Sorry I don't have his phone number but here's his
E-mail: bajafam1@hotmail.com
We had a great time. hot showers, bbq, full kitchen, secure parking and out of the wind! Let us know what you decide and how the accomodations are.

we are a bit north...it really depends on the summer temps and ocean temp's too...usually our water is in the mid or upper 70's in late august...it
can be pretty hot...which is like 90 degrees for me...is hot...but always that pacific afternoon breeze keeps it nice in the afternoons...this mid
pacific coast area is one of the few places that doesnt get too stinkin hot in summer...unless there is a hurricaine brewing and there is no wind.

I was there in Aug. and Sept. perfect weather, the water is warmer and if the wind comes up go into town always offshore. I had a blast, and was the
first one in the water everyday for 6 days. The young guys would get drunk every nite and not hit the waves till 7:45-8 I would be in the waves at
5:45 two hrs of bliss.

I made an inquiry to various friends with homes in San Juanico today who said that August is peak, no one wants to leave their rooms at home and those
who do are already getting $100/day. There are also the hotels. San Juanico is an expensive town in Baja.
Point is, the weather is good and many options exist in August but SJ is an expensive place comparatively, personally I would camp and bring supplies.

Russ - thanks for the kind words, always feels good.
Hot in August? Well... sure. But, just like expensive accommodations - it's all relative. What is hot or expensive to one person will be quite
reasonable to another (or most). You can expect hot and humid conditions here in August and September but, to keep it in perspective, you'll find it
to be ten or fifteen degrees cooler than the east cape or Loreto. The wind is typically light that time of year which makes hanging at the beach that
much more enjoyable. Water is typically around 80 degrees. Surf is fun and the fishing is fantastic.
Hope that helps. Feel free to u2u me directly if you have more questions.
Jack
