Likely Clear · 85Reliably clear

Cozumel's hotel and dive strip runs down the island's leeward west coast, facing the mainland channel. Sargassum drifts past to the east, so these beaches stay reliably clear even in bad years.

Our estimate: barely any sargassum this month — typically one of the more reliably clear beaches. Conditions still change day to day, so confirm with the resort.

An estimate modeled from live satellite readings (USF / NOAA AFAI) + 15-year seasonal history + beach orientation · refreshed August 8, 2026. Conditions change daily and many resorts rake their beach each morning — always confirm current conditions with the resort before you travel.
