Morning Seismic Activity in Los Cabos

A low-intensity earthquake caught the residents of San José del Cabo by surprise on the morning of Monday, August 3, 2026.

According to the official report from the National Seismological Service (SSN), the geological event occurred at 10:44 AM (central time), drawing attention across the coastal region.

The epicenter of this tremor was located exactly 6 kilometers southeast of the city, an area constantly monitored due to its active tectonic dynamics.

Zero Damage and Normal Operations

The earthquake originated at a very shallow depth of just 2.0 kilometers. However, given its moderate-low magnitude of 3.2, the structural impact on the urban area was practically non-existent.

Local authorities confirmed that no material damage or injuries were reported. All commercial, airport, and tourism infrastructure continues to operate completely normally.

Technical details of the event:

• Date and Time: Monday, August 3, 2026, at 10:44 AM.

• Magnitude: 3.2 on the Richter scale.

• Depth and Epicenter: 2.0 km depth, 6 km southeast of San José del Cabo.

A Culture of Prevention Against Natural Phenomena

Due to the constant release of tectonic energy in the Gulf of California, Civil Protection reminds residents that Mexico is a territory with high seismic activity.

The population is urged to remain calm during such events, identify low-risk zones in their homes or workplaces, and always keep an emergency kit ready.
