Year-round sunshine in Rosarito
Rosarito enjoys a dry, mild climate for much of the year. The summer months of June to September are pleasantly warm and sunny, and very rarely uncomfortably hot. Visit in winter and it may well still be warm enough to lie out on the beach, although you’ll want to pack a sweater or jacket for the cool evenings. Rainfall is at its highest from January to March, but even during this period, it’s unlikely to interfere with your plans. The downtown district can be a little noisy at night during the peak summer season, but many Rosarito vacation rentals are safely out of earshot.
