IMHO, in late December it was less than 17 C (65 F) at the beaches in half-protected bays. It was 2-3 degrees warmer in tide pools or Mulege river (should be renamed into Mulege Swamp after the hurricane), and this is probably what I would consider a comfortable range for swim if it were doable there, and 2-3 degrees colder in the open sea when I touched the water by hand. Warm enough to not get cold when splashed, but swimming without a wetsuite and booties I can't imagine - at least for pleasure :-). Swimming and snorkeling will begin there (I think) somewhere from April through October.
