San José del Cabo Ocean & Fishing Conditions
San José del Cabo sits northeast of Cabo San Lucas on the Gulf of California coast. Its eastern approach gives a different offshore perspective from Cabo’s Pacific side.

Temperature gradient
Rate of surface temperature change per 10 km, computed from actual MUR grid values (0.05° sampling) in a 1° box around the sample point (Offshore, southeast of Puerto Los Cabos). Stronger gradients mark boundaries between water masses; they are not evidence of fish.

San José del Cabo seasonal fishing calendar
Historical seasonal patterns from cited sources, reviewed by our editors. This is not a report of current catches; see dated reports below for verified recent fishing.
The San José del Cabo calendar is awaiting editorial review. No unreviewed seasonal ratings are shown.
San José del Cabo field observations
Editor-approved observations from captains and named sources, shown with their report date. Older entries are historical, not today’s conditions.
No approved San José del Cabo observations yet.
Reading the water around San José del Cabo
Inspect the Gulf-facing coastal and offshore temperature pattern rather than assuming the Pacific side of Los Cabos has the same conditions.
MUR combines multiple satellite and in-situ inputs into a gridded surface analysis. The newest seven days may be revised. Point readings show estimated analysis uncertainty when NOAA provides it; they are not onboard thermometer measurements.

Ocean map questions
Is this a live water-temperature measurement?
No. This is the latest available daily JPL MUR analysis distributed by NOAA CoastWatch. Its analysis timestamp appears beside the map and each point reading. It is not a real-time sensor feed, weather forecast or fishing prediction.
How can temperature breaks help anglers?
Changes in surface temperature can help describe boundaries between water masses. They do not prove bait or fish are present. The SST color field is shown here; a separate quantified gradient layer is not yet available.
Is a coastal map reading the temperature at Gordo Banks?
No. Town markers identify destinations, not fishing grounds. Tap an offshore location for the dataset’s surface estimate; exact bank coordinates must be verified before map markers are published.
Are currents, chlorophyll, waves and fishing seasons included?
Not in this initial release. Those layers need separately verified sources, timestamps and licensing. Regional species calendars need evidence and editorial review. No modeled conditions, seasonal averages or invented values have been used as substitutes.
