The water in the Bay has such great clarity in front of our place right now! Only been here one day so no opinion on other areas. The Semarnat bacteria test results for early December are available here:

And the pier face-lift looks great too.

Agree with all you've said,and also want to add that the waves are the smallest I've ever seen them in 11 winters here. I actually swam at Playa Blanca on Christmas Day in the clearest, most gorgeous water and small waves ever.
No one has mentioned the huge lifeguard presence on every popular beach this year. Unfortunately started too late for the young man who drowned at Barra before Navidad, but I can't help but think how ironic,this is the year there are no waves and lots of lifeguards!
Town is uberbusy with national tourists so it is great to be able to head out to some pretty pristine places that aren't as crowded as La Ropa or La Madera.
