Flagged among the earliest-hit islands — but that's the windward east/southeast. The leeward northwest and west resort beaches (Dickenson Bay, Jolly, Five Islands) stay largely clear.
Current conditions
Our estimate: barely any sargassum this month — typically one of the more reliably clear beaches. Conditions still change day to day, so confirm with the resort.
An estimate modeled from live satellite readings (USF / NOAA AFAI) + 15-year seasonal history + beach orientation · refreshed August 8, 2026. Conditions change daily and many resorts rake their beach each morning — always confirm current conditions with the resort before you travel.
