Is there seaweed on Curaçao tomorrow?
Tomorrow, NOAA's satellite risk for Curaçao is low at 9 beaches (data of Mon 5 Oct 2026). Curaçao's beaches are coves along the calm southwest coast, from beach clubs near Willemstad to quiet bays in the west, an hour's drive away. The north coast takes the wind and waves head-on.

How to read NOAA's risk
NOAA's Sargassum Inundation Risk is an experimental product of NOAA/AOML, NOAA CoastWatch/OceanWatch and the University of South Florida. Every day it compares the floating seaweed that satellites see within 50–100 km of each stretch of coast with the weeks before, and gives the stretch one of four classes. We show them as three words:
- Low (NOAA: low): little or no seaweed near this coast.
- Medium (NOAA: warning or medium): seaweed at sea nearby; some may wash up, depending on wind and current.
- High (NOAA: high): a lot of seaweed nearby; expect it on the beach and brown water at the edge.
- No data: clouds or no coast segment near the beach; we do not guess.
What it cannot tell you: whether a hotel cleaned its beach this morning, or a raft that arrived overnight. It looks at stretches of coast of a few kilometres, not at one beach. Seaweed on the beach is not dangerous to touch, but rotting piles give off hydrogen sulphide (the smell of rotten eggs), which can bother people with asthma.
