Red flags close nine popular Puerto Vallarta beaches as rip currents rise

Puerto Vallarta Beach Report

Beach conditions today call for caution: the main issue is swell and possible afternoon rain, not a tropical storm.

Beach flags: No verified July 6 citywide beach-flag bulletin was found this morning; follow the posted lifeguard flag at each beach, not older social media notices.
Ocean conditions: A mar de fondo alert is reported for the Puerto Vallarta coast, with waves of 1–2 meters; offshore Jalisco waters are forecast at 4–6 ft in S/SW swell with a long period.
Rip-current/rough-surf risk: Use extra caution at exposed beaches, near rocks, jetties, river mouths, and steep shore breaks; weaker swimmers should stay in shallow guarded areas.
Runoff concern: If afternoon rain arrives, avoid swimming near river mouths or visibly discolored runoff until water clears.
Port/tropical status: No Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone is active this morning; ASIPONA’s July arrivals calendar remains subject to change, and no verified portwide closure was found in checked sources.
Best beach window: Morning to early midday is the better window; avoid exposed surf zones and river-mouth areas if swell or rain conditions worsen.
