How is the ocean water in Cabo San Lucas Mexico?
Hola. Cabo San Lucas is on the Pacific Ocean and for most times of the year it can be very volitile with strong undertows, roge waves, and rip tides. Nothing like the eastern side of Mexico (cancun) on the Carribean. The beach in front of the Riu Sante Fe can be a little rough. You are better to go to Medano just down the way or over to lovers/divorce beach if you want to swim, snorkel. There are also prime snorkelling beaches a little farther out called Chileno and Santa Maria and there are many tours there. I am a very strong swimmer and go swimming almost daily at the roughest beach in Cabo (called Costa Azul) and I have to admit I’ve been clobbered a couple of times. I can see how accidents have happened to those who may not realize it or are not strong swimmers.
