Sargassum in Punta Cana — July 2026

A real satellite tally: 16 days of Copernicus / NOAA measurements across Punta Cana beaches in July 2026. No estimates — only what the satellite actually observed.

The tally

The month in numbers

Satellite measurements from July 16 to July 31 — 16 days observed.

16
days measured
2
days 100% clean network-wide
14
days with ≥ 1 moderate beach

61% of the month’s 192 beach-day measurements were clean.

A day counts as “100% clean” when every beach measured that day is clean (AFAI index < 0.15). A single moderate (0.15–0.40) or avoid (> 0.40) beach downgrades the day.
