Visiting Tulum In November: Everything You Need To Know
Wondering what November is like in Tulum?
Here's everything you need to know about visiting Tulum in November — from the weather and prices to how busy it gets and the best things to do.
Tulum’s Weather In November
November is a very attractive month for Tulum — it’s after the peak summer heat and rain/hurricane season and before the busy winter holiday rush. Key points:
- Daytime highs are typically around 27 °C to 29 °C (80‑85 °F).
- Nighttime lows drop to about 18 °C to 22 °C (65‑72 °F).
- Sea surface temperature stays comfortable — around 28 °C (82 °F), making swimming and snorkeling very inviting.
- Rainfall is lower compared to the heavier summer months; clear, dry days are more frequent.
- Humidity begins to ease compared to mid‑summer, making outdoor activities more comfortable.
In summary: You’ll get warm beach weather, mild evenings, comfortable sea conditions and fewer disruptions from rain or storms. It’s among the better months for weather in Tulum.
Tulum’s Sunrise & Sunset In November
- You’ll have about 11 to 12 hours of daylight.
- Sunrise is around 6:50‑7:05 AM, and sunset around 6:40‑6:50 PM early in the month, gradually shifting as the month progresses.
- With this amount of daylight, there’s ample time for morning and afternoon excursions, beach time, and relaxed evenings.
November is Shoulder Season in Tulum
November falls into a shoulder season (transitioning from high to lower season) which brings several advantages and a few things to watch.
- Tourist Demand: Moderate to high — you’ll find many visitors because of the excellent conditions, but the crowd levels are generally lower than the peak winter months (December‑February).
- Pricing: Because it's before the full high season, you may find more favourable rates on accommodation and flights compared to peak months.
- Availability: Good availability, especially if you book ahead. Beach‑front resorts will still fill up, but you’ll have more flexibility than in peak season.
- Atmosphere: The vibe is lively but not overwhelming — you’ll have full services (restaurants, tours, beach clubs) without extreme crowd pressure.
- Considerations: While weather is excellent, some of the very best deals may still be locked to earlier low‑season months, and for major events or holiday weeks you’ll still want to book ahead.
Best Things To Do In Tulum In November
November is an excellent month to explore the many facets of Tulum — beach, culture, nature — while enjoying favourable conditions.
Top things to do:
- Visit the coastal Mayan ruins of Tulum early in the morning (cooler, fewer crowds, great light).
- Relax on the beaches — with warm sea and comfortable air, it’s prime for sunbathing, swimming or just lounging.
- Snorkel or dive in the Caribbean sea — warm, clear water and fewer heavy storms make conditions favourable.
- Explore cenotes and jungle excursions — with milder weather and fewer tourist masses, these are especially appealing.
- Take day trips to the nearby biosphere reserve (Sian Ka’an) or less‑visited beaches for a quieter experience.
- Enjoy evening dining or beach‑club time — warm nights make outdoor ambiance very pleasant.
