What is the weather like?
Living on the East Cape during summer means embracing a warm, simple, and nature-connected lifestyle. Daytime temperatures hover around 34–35°C (rarely hotter), with moderate humidity that adds a tropical feel without becoming overwhelming. The sea stays beautifully warm — around 27–29°C — perfect for daily surf sessions, swimming, or diving. Life moves slowly in the midday heat, with early mornings and evenings being the most active times. Nights are comfortably warm, and sleeping with a fan is usually enough to stay cool. The area remains quiet and off-grid, with dirt roads, minimal services, and a strong connection to the land and sea. Occasional tropical storms bring dramatic skies and brief bursts of rain that breathe life into the desert.
What are the waves like?
The East Cape of Baja California Sur is known for its long, peeling right-hand point breaks and warm, crystal-clear water. Most waves break over cobblestone or sandy bottoms, offering fun, user-friendly conditions ideal for intermediate and advanced surfers. Swells roll in cleanly from the south during summer, with consistent offshore winds in the mornings, creating smooth, glassy conditions. While some spots can hold serious size, the majority of waves are playful, fast, and perfect for long rides.
The East Cape offers long, fast right-hand point breaks that are ideal for experienced surfers but can be challenging for beginners. Many waves break over rocky or shallow cobblestone bottoms, and the takeoffs can be steep and quick. There are often strong currents and limited whitewater zones, which means there’s not much room for error. While the waves are beautiful and rewarding, they require good board control, confidence in the lineup, and some local knowledge to surf safely.
What is La Fortuna like?
La Fortuna is a uniquely special location on the East Cape, offering the perfect balance of remoteness and accessibility. Tucked between the mountains and the sea, it’s just 30–40 minutes from San José del Cabo, yet feels worlds away from the bustle of town. La Fortuna offers a consistent beach break that produces both lefts and rights—a rarity in the area. The beach is uncrowded and expansive, with stunning views, world-class surf just steps away, and some of the clearest water on the peninsula. It’s a quiet, off-grid community surrounded by raw desert and wild coastline — ideal for those seeking peace, connection with nature, and a slower rhythm of life.
