Seaweed (Sargassum)

Not enough clear satellite views this week (clouds) to tell.

From the satellite floating algae index. Clouds, sun glint, and muddy water can cause false hits, and it can't see weed already on the sand.

Latest satellite imagery

Daily true-color passes (about 250–375 m detail) show clouds, mud lines, and green water reaching the beach. Brown-orange pixels are the seaweed index. Today's pass appears after mid-afternoon.
