A real satellite tally: 1 day of Copernicus / NOAA measurements across Punta Cana beaches in October 2026. No estimates — only what the satellite actually observed.
Satellite measurements from October 1 to October 1 — 1 day observed.
100% of the month’s 12 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.
Network mean AFAI index: 0.10 in September 2026 → 0.10 in October 2026 (stable). Clean measurements: 91% → 100%.
Comparison computed on the days observed so far this month.
Ranking computed from the month’s real measurements: share of clean days, then mean AFAI index (lower = less sargassum).
The monthly tally says what happened. The map says where to go today.
