Hi Thom. Currents vary from site to site and hour by hour. I have found currents to be very erratic in March but I am sure others can point to nearly any other month.Does anyone know when the current in Cozumel are slower than normal. When are the strongest currents?

The currents at Cozumel are very variable - day to day, hour to hour, even location to location at the same time. I do not believe there is much of a pattern month to month that you can use to reliably predict what they will be at any point in the future. I usually go in May and I have seen it all from no flow at all to near blizzard conditions from entrained sand. I certainly wouldn't let anticipated currents be a factor in my vacation planning because I just can't know.Does anyone know when the current in Cozumel are slower than normal.

Trust me, Dave, I won't get into the argument about the difference between anecdotal and empirical evidence.Trust me, Gordon, Early spring sees much more in the way of crazy currents.
