Ensenada - Todos Santos - Snorkeling with Temps in the Upper 60s

[cfitch]

It looks like our temps in Ensenada for our trip the third week of March will have us in the upper 60s. We booked a snorkeling tour and I am concerned that it will not be warm enough for this. Thoughts from the group?

It will not be warm enough.

Agreed - the water is definitely colder now. This picture shows the movement of the Alaskan current as it moves southward every winter. It will stop it's southward trek and start receding northward sometime around April. Surprisingly (to tourists), the ocean temps in Cabo tend to be coldest around May/June before things start warming up again. By July - things start getting better and it stays that way for the rest of the year and even into Jan/Feb.

As a comparison - here is October last year.

It isn't the air temp, but the water temp, which is WAY too cold right now.
