How is the weather and water temp in January in Cozumel?

Question

We are thinking of booking a cruise to Cozumel out of Galveston in Jan. and we're wondering if the ocean will be warm to swim in and if it'll be too chilly swim in the pools on the ship. What are the average day and night temperatures out on the Caribbean at that time of year?

Answer 1

We went to Cancun, which is a short distance away, in late February. We found the day was comfortable while the water was a bit cool but still swimmable.

The chart below gives the average weather for Cozumel by month. Nightime temperatures in the 60s bring the water temp down.

Answer 2

You should have some nice weather there. From December to March, the  air temperatures are around 85 degrees during the day and 70 degrees at night.

As far as water temps, in January you should have water temps in the 75 to78 degrees. Definitely warm enough to swim in. I was there in November and went scuba diving. I just wore a skin, as opposed to a wetsuit, and was fine.

I love Coz, have a great time.

Answer 3

beautiful!!
