Beach flag or ocean warning today?

Puerto Vallarta Beach Report — September 22, 2026

Beachgoers should use extra caution Tuesday because Hurricane Polo may begin changing surf and current conditions along Mexico’s Pacific coast.

• Latest published flags: The most recent municipal report listed red and purple at the Río Cuale mouth, Playa Holly near the Río Pitillal mouth and Playa Marina Vallarta. Yellow was listed at Palmares, Los Muertos, Burros, Camarones, Malecón and Playa de Oro. Always follow the flag currently displayed on the beach.
• Ocean conditions: Polo strengthened to Category 2 overnight, and associated surf is expected to spread along the Pacific coast beginning Tuesday. Rip currents and shore break can increase even without a direct landfall. Authorities are warning beachgoers to avoid dangerous surf and currents.
• Wildlife and runoff: No newer citywide harmful-wildlife alert was verified, but the purple designations remain a reason to stay out at those locations until lifeguards change the flag. Avoid the Cuale and Pitillal river mouths because rain can carry debris, sewage, and other contamination into the bay.
• Port status: No closure of the Puerto Vallarta maritime port was reported in the latest notices, although ports farther south have imposed restrictions. Small-craft passengers should confirm conditions with their operator before departure.
• Best beach window: Early morning offers the best opportunity at a lifeguarded beach where the on-site flag permits swimming. Avoid river mouths, jetties, rocks and any beach displaying red, purple or black.

Airport/travel update today?

Puerto Vallarta International Airport has a moderate Tuesday schedule, with no major flight disruption showing on the early check.

• Flight count: The schedule lists 26 arriving and 23 departing primary flights, or 49 commercial movements for September 22. Codeshare duplicates were excluded from the count. See the arrival board and departure board.
• Cancellations and delays: No cancellation or material delay was marked when the boards were checked. Flight status can change, so passengers should confirm directly with their airline before leaving for the airport.
• Tuesday’s network: The schedule includes domestic service and international connections involving Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Calgary and Tokyo.
• Weather risk: Hurricane Polo is expected to remain offshore, but rain, wind or air-traffic restrictions could affect operations later Tuesday or Wednesday if its track changes. Travelers with midweek flights should monitor airline messages closely.
• Airport access: No major closure affecting the airport corridor was reported. Allow additional travel time during heavy rain because localized street flooding can develop quickly.
