Lightning detected by the GOES satellite in the last few minutes, up to 60 km from the beach. The satellite sees the flash in the cloud and cannot tell whether it reaches the ground. With a storm nearby, get out of the water and take shelter.

Today's assessment (Wednesday, October 28) is “Good beach day”: no official warning in effect advises against it. Today at Playa Centro, the water is pleasant and no rain is expected, although the wind is moderate. Waves estimated by the model, offshore: 0.3 m, period 5 s. Playas Hoy cannot see flags, currents or lifeguards: at the beach, follow the flag and the lifeguard's instructions.
No recent data. A satellite image without sargassum does not mean there is none: clouds hide it. This is a satellite detection by LANOT/UNAM (Sentinel-2 imagery), not a report from the beach.
As of today, Wednesday, October 28, no SMN, tropical cyclone (NHC) or tsunami warnings are in effect for this beach.
In the latest COFEPRIS monitoring (Verano 2026, sampled from 06/16/2026 to 06/25/2026), every point at this beach was APTA (suitable). This is the result of a sampling campaign, not today's condition.
Verdict based on the sources on this page. It does not replace the instructions of the authorities at the beach.
