Fishing weather report FAQ (Los Cabos)
How accurate is the live data on this page? +
Data comes from Open-Meteo, which combines ECMWF IFS and NOAA GFS — the same models used by professional weather services. Marine variables (wave height, period, swell) update hourly. Wind and temperature refresh on page load.
What is the Bite Score and how is it calculated? +
The Bite Score is a 0–100 index calculated from real wind, wave height, wave period, atmospheric pressure, moon phase and cloud cover. Above 75 means excellent conditions; 50–75 is good; below 50 means harder fishing or rougher ride. Always confirm with a captain.
What's the best time of day to go fishing in San José del Cabo? +
Early mornings are often best: winds tend to be lighter, seas calmer, and fish feed more actively. The sunrise window shown in the Solunar panel is typically a peak feed time.
Why does moon phase affect fishing? +
New moon and full moon create the strongest tidal movement, which triggers more active feeding. Quarter moons produce weaker tides and a slower bite. The Bite Score factors this in automatically.
What does wave period mean and why does it matter? +
Period is the time between waves. Longer periods (10+ seconds) feel smoother and run easier; short periods (under 7 seconds) can feel steep and bumpy even at smaller heights.
Which boat should I choose when it's choppy? +
If seas are building, a larger boat is typically more stable and comfortable, especially for longer offshore runs. The live recommendation in the Boats card adapts to current wind and waves.
Can we go fishing if the port is closed? +
No. If harbor authorities close the port, charters do not depart. We reschedule when possible or handle refunds per policy.
Is it "worth fishing today" if it's windy? +
Often yes — the plan changes. We may fish closer to shore, target protected areas, or choose a bigger boat for comfort. The Bite Score and live recommendation will help you decide quickly.
What does UV index mean for a fishing day? +
UV in Los Cabos can hit 11+ in summer. UV 6+ means strong sun protection is essential (long sleeves, hat, polarized sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen). The dashboard shows real-time UV.
