TL;DR
A recent report from July 9 says debris washed back in during the second half of the day, so sea conditions can change within hours. One hotel staff member was actively collecting trash, so cleanliness depends both on currents and on how well the specific hotel maintains the beach.
As of July 9, debris washed back in during the second half of the day, so beach and water conditions may look different in the morning versus later in the day.
A hotel staff member was cleaning up trash by the shore manually, although the cleanup team appeared to be very small.
The latest report suggests this is not necessarily a constant disaster, but trash can wash in again even after the beach has already been cleaned.
From the available reports, conditions depend a lot on the individual hotel: at least one property was actively monitoring the beach and trying to remove debris quickly.
