A group of us are heading down between X-mas and the New Year. Does anyone have a current water temperature for the area?
I'm finding trends online, just wondering if there's anything a little more accurate out there.
Says it is 64°, 34 minutes ago.
This also came with the temperatur figure:
Today water temperature in Bahia de los Angeles is 64.4°F. This is cool bathing water, but acceptable for short dives for physically fit and hardened
people. Continuous exposure to such water for more than four hours can lead to severe hypothermia. In any case, the general weather is also important.
So, the air temperature at the same time will reach 68°F.DosMars - 12-22-2022 at 03:13 PM
Yes, I got that also. But a couple of links down I got a current reading of 67. Was hoping someone down there might be able to stick a toe in the
water?mtgoat666 - 12-22-2022 at 03:54 PM

Warm in summer. Cool in winter. This time of year it is in the 60s, so too cold for swimming w/o wetsuit, in my book.4x4abc - 12-23-2022 at 02:55 PM

Terrrafin SST water temp has it at 62.5 today. Inner bay.DosMars - 12-24-2022 at 09:22 AM
Yes, wind and upwelling will turn everything over and this is the windy season...
Thanks for the insight, I'll expect low sixties and count myself lucky if I find 65!Hook - 12-24-2022 at 11:07 AM
I have seen mid 50s there, more than once, but it was 20-30 years ago.
Water too cold?

I suppose it is all relative to what you are used to. My first exposure to Baja waters was in February of 1986. After driving down from Alaska with
my family, we felt the water in Bahia Conception was just right!
It was a little less "right" along some of the other beaches, but we were in the water fairly frequently without wet suits.
