🎣 Peak Fishing Season in Full Swing
July marks the beginning of the true summer fishing boom in San José del Cabo. Water temperatures range between 80°F and 85°F (26°C – 29°C), creating perfect conditions for offshore and inshore action alike. Warm waters bring an abundance of game fish close to the coast and around deep sea structures.

🐟 Target Species in July
- Dorado (Mahi Mahi) – Excellent numbers near floating debris
- Yellowfin Tuna – Active offshore, especially near Gordo Banks
- Striped Marlin – Consistent action continues from June
- Roosterfish – Still patrolling close to shore (great with light tackle)
- Snapper and Grouper – Found near rocky bottom areas
☀️ Weather & Sea Conditions
Expect hot days with average air temperatures between 86°F and 96°F. Winds are generally calm during early mornings, perfect for launching fishing trips. Afternoon thunderstorms are rare but can occur near the end of the month. Tides fluctuate moderately, ideal for nearshore and bottom fishing activities.
🚤 Recommended Boats for July
Choosing the right boat can make or break your July fishing adventure:
- Super Panga 23ft – Best for inshore fishing, roosterfish, snapper, and coastal light tackle trips. Great value and close to the action.
- 26ft and above – Ideal for deep sea fishing, chasing dorado, marlin, tuna, or doing combo trips. More comfort, speed, and flexibility.
💡 Local Expert Tip
Book early departures between 6:00 AM – 6:30 AM to avoid heat and maximize your bite window. Pack sunscreen, long sleeves, and stay hydrated. July is prime time, so availability can be limited—book ahead to lock in the best days and boats.
