In reply to Kris Roberts. We have been to Curacao 4 times and never has there been Saragrassum

We are taking our first holiday to the Caribbean, to the Sea Breeze Beach Hut in Barbados…Does anyone know what it is like here for seaweed?

Hello,
We have a group trip booked for the last week in June in Curacao. Do you have any way of seeing what the tides might bring at that point?

How has Cuba been affected by this problem?

In reply to Amber. Thanks for the feedback Amber. December seems very early in the season to get sargassum but it did start early this year....bummer. Hopefully it didn't interrupt your travel too much.

My favorite place in the Caribbean is Anguilla, and I don’t remember seeing any seaweed–not sure if it has hit since I was there in 2019. This is a great way to organize a beach list, swimming with seaweed is an experience!

There was definitely some seaweed on the beaches in Tulum, Mexico when I was there in December 2021.

In reply to Carol Colborn. There is no season for sargassum. It can happen summer or winter. After 30 years I know this to be true.

In reply to J.

It seems to be a big year for sargassum throughout the Caribbean but much depends on wind and ocean currents. Roatan has received sargassum in the past but it’s hard to predict. You might try checking the webcams at https://www.cocoviewresort.com/webcams/ before you leave.

Do you know if Sargassum will be an issue in Roatan this summer (July/August)?

In reply to donna aust. Congratulations on your upcoming vacation to beautiful Ambergris Cay. Unfortunately it's really tough to predict where sargassum will hit as it varies from day to day. Sometimes one side of an island will be inundated while the other side will be clear. Generally sargassum lands on the windward side of an island rather than the leeward so that's a strategy that can sometime work when planning a vacation during seaweed season.
