Mexican Riviera Weather/Temperature

Wondering what the weather would be like departing from San Diego
along the Mexican Riviera - T/A said it can be cool temps/strong winds
- compared to the Caribbean - anyone have a personal experience with
this itinery?

When? What itinerary?

That would depend on the season. It can be much windier though.

Your TA is correct. We did the Mexican Riviera itinerary out of LA and it
was pretty chilly north of Cabo. Windy as well... the ship really rocked the
entire last day at sea. You won't be going as far north, though, so probably
will not have the same conditions.

I am considering cruising out of San Diego next February and going down
along the west cost of Mexico. What kind of weather can we expect and is
it windy like described here at that time of year.
Thanks
Bernie

If it matters, the last day of this cruise is ALWAYS rough no matter the
weather conditions. Current, wind and wave action are always going against the
ships in this shipping lane. Anything from medium to rough seas can be
expected. The smallest seas we have hit were 5-7 feet. People we know went
through 15-17 a few years ago. And of course there is the story "someone heard"
about 25 foot seas. Anyway, the first 6 or 9 days of this cruise are very
smooth barring storms.

Hello... I've taken 7 cruises down the Mexican coast in the last 3 years
(both spring and fall). ...I always figure that to sunbathe on deck, one
has to wait 'till the ship rounds the horn at Cabo. In fact, for all my
cruises, except one, there has always been a chilly NW wind blowing.
This made it tough as one would either freeze lying in the shade, or
become uncomfortably "burnt" trying to stay warm sitting in the sun.
....For approx. 1/3 of the cruises, the water was also a little choppy
for this strech of water, too. ... Both coming and going (8-12 feet on
the tv display, for approx. 1/2 the cruises). ...But the rocking has
never progressed to an uncomfortable level. ....After the ship leaves
Cabo, though, the ocean has "always" been extremely calm (whether
crossing to Mazatlan or heading down to Acapulco). ...I love this part
of the cruise, especially at night. The air is soo warm out on the
balcony. ...Jon

Rough water,,,,,,Yes! I love it!
Reminds you that you are at sea!

Been off the coast of San Diego in January, March, April and May. Each
time the weather was very cool and seas were quite rough.

We are considering taking Carnival Spirit in Jan/Feb 2005 departing
out of San Diego port of calls: Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San
Lucas is this typically a cool-windy-rough cruise?
