Sargassum Check

Mexican Caribbean · Public beta

Before you head
to the beach.

Sargassum changes. Your plans can, too. We’re building a clearer way to understand the shoreline, compare beaches, and see what supports an answer.

What we are building

Conditions + confidence + context

An answer is only as useful
as what stands behind it.

A regional signal can help explain the bigger picture. It cannot, by itself, tell you what has washed onto one particular beach.

01

Find your beach.

Search 79 beach and coastal-area records in the Mexican Caribbean, select a marker, and inspect the estimate for that location.

02

Separate fact from estimate.

Dated regional reports, rough estimates and confirmed observations remain distinct. Missing evidence must never mean a clear beach.

03

Check the context.

Look for source dates, location and confidence. Sparse evidence calls for caution; yesterday’s regional report is not today’s shoreline observation.

Before you explore

A few things
to know.

Does the map show confirmed sargassum?

The public beta shows rough, low-confidence estimates using dated regional evidence and coastal assumptions. Open “Why” to inspect the sources and their age. These estimates are not confirmed observations at an individual beach.

Is this a swimming-safety assessment?

No. Neither a sargassum estimate nor a lack of reported sargassum establishes swimming safety. Follow local flags, closures and official advice.

Can it predict conditions for my trip?

The beta does not provide a validated forecast. Future trip-planning views must distinguish seasonal history from predictions for a particular day.

How does it relate to BeachSignal?

Sargassum Check is the first focused product surface of BeachSignal, a Terra Continua product. It has its own website and focuses on the sargassum question.
