Sargassum forecast
A short-range outlook for each beach, projected from today’s satellite reading and the direction it’s moving — not a day-by-day forecast, and not separate data for each of the seven days. Sargassum is hard to predict beyond a couple of weeks, so use this as a planning nudge and always check the live cams before you go.
Method: today’s rating comes from NOAA/USF satellite AFAI imagery sampled offshore of each destination. The outlook holds that rating for three days, then steps it at most one level toward the current trend — so the later bars are a projection, not a measurement. It is not a substitute for the University of South Florida’s satellite forecasts or the daily Quintana Roo monitoring maps — it’s a fast at-a-glance guide.
