miami beach sargassum & beach conditions
Sargassum and beach conditions in Miami Beach can change quickly with wind, currents, tides and daily beach cleanup. Sargassum Buddy helps beachgoers check current seaweed conditions before heading to the beach by combining environmental data with real shoreline observations and beach views. Our current visual observation point is located in Surfside, Miami-Dade, in the greater Miami Beach coastal area.
Use the beach views above to check shoreline seaweed, water appearance, sand conditions and general beach conditions for yourself. Conditions can vary along the coastline and can change during the same day, so this site should be used as an observational guide rather than an official beach warning service. Always follow posted flags and local lifeguard instructions.
