About 84°F in November. The sea is warmest in September and October (about 86°F) and coolest in February (about 80°F).

Does Coral Beach Club have a sargassum barrier or beach cleanup?
Veabird doesn't track barriers hotel by hotel; this is what the Leeward Islands area does. Offshore barriers in Leeward Islands: few booms (some in St. Martin/St. Barths lagoons). Resort crews: Luxury resorts rake daily. Typical clearing time: Same-day at resorts; windward bays can stay fouled for weeks in peak years.

Sargassum season at Coral Beach Club
Sargassum risk at Coral Beach Club typically peaks around July (high: moderate or heavier seaweed on the beach in an estimated 45% of weeks). Months most likely to see heavy seaweed: July. Lowest-risk months: January, February, March, April, September, October, November and December. Actual landings vary a lot by year, wind and currents; check the live conditions above.
Estimated share of weeks in each month with moderate or heavier seaweed on the beach. Veabird takes the landing season measured on Martinique's shores (Madininair's hydrogen-sulfide sensors beside stranding sites, 2018–2026) and scales it by how often NOAA AOML satellites see notable seaweed within about 20 km of this stretch of coast: 21% of weeks here on average, against 14% off Martinique, so the full season applies. The satellite share (2016–2024, the top fifth of all coast-weeks, adjusted for this beach's exposure of 85%) measures seaweed offshore, not on the sand: off the Riviera Maya it reads high even in winter, when little lands. Very low under 10%, Low 10–24%, Moderate 25–44%, High 45–69%, Very high 70%+. Beach faces 51°; onshore winds from that direction push seaweed ashore. Satellite sargassum data: USF Optical Oceanography Lab (Sargassum Watch System) via NOAA AOML. The satellite record as open data.
