The climate of Playas de Rosarito is
arid sub-tropical, with very mild, relatively rainy winters and warm, sunny summers.

Best Time
Having a great climate, Rosarito can be visited all year round. However, from December to March, it can rain, and it can get a bit cold at night, especially in inland areas. In May and June, there may be morning mists. In summer, but especially in September and October, there can be very hot days, when the wind blows from the desert.
The best time to go to the beach is from July to October, when the sea is less cold.
