I am not at the beach but have noticed a lot of dark stuff in the water on the beach cams. Is it sargassum?

Does anyone know what it'll be like late July?Just like the real estate market, you can only know the seaweed market as it is today. You must take your seaweed as it comes, and not speculate whether your seaweed will go up or down.

June Grass is growing in SoWal ... www.SoWal.com/live
Early morning thunderstorms didn't do much to disturb it.

Again I am looking at the Seagrove Beach cam and can see lots of dark stuff along the shoreline. Is it sargassum?

Lots of jellyfish last weekend, though.About the same time I noticed the purple flags at the beach (web cams), here in Louisville, a different type of jellyfish was found in a concrete pond in a city park. Lots of them. Apparently they're in the Ohio River too. Ellen

The burn is just low level redtide concentrations.
Once the seaweed completely hits the shore it's time to expect a big storm.

I don't ever remember a lighter summer for June grass or other seaweed. What gives?

Gonna be a cold wet winter and next year's hurricane season will be miserable.

I don't ever remember a lighter summer for June grass or other seaweed. What gives?We were there at the end of July/beginning of August. Calmest most beautiful water we ever had for a whole week and we've been staying on 30A since 1998!!! We won't return that time of year again because it's too hot/humid. We stayed in a walkable community - restaurants & shops - but it was too hot! Grandchildren will have to go somewhere else. Mike & I will be down in May & September! Ellen
