Sunny Isles Beach Sargassum Today: Live Map
Updated June 29, 2026 from Copernicus satellite data — refreshed 4× per day.
Sunny Isles Beach's sargassum status today is on the live map above: open it to see the current Beach Score (0-100) and whether this North Miami-Dade strip reads clean, moderate, or avoid right now. The score is updated today from Copernicus and NOAA satellite imagery refreshed four times a day, so residents and visitors can check the sand before walking down to it. Sunny Isles sits on the Atlantic-facing barrier island between Haulover and Golden Beach, an area that can catch sargassum during peak bloom while a beach a few miles away stays clear. Statewide bulletins miss that. This page measures what the satellite actually sees over Sunny Isles, never guesses, and tells you plainly when clouds hide the coast so we lean on the forecast and community reports instead. No invented figures, just today's reading.
Is there seaweed on Sunny Isles Beach now?
Open the live map for today's answer. The Beach Score and status reflect the most recent clear satellite pass over Sunny Isles, updated today. As an Atlantic-facing strip in northern Miami-Dade, Sunny Isles can receive sargassum carried by the Florida Current and onshore winds during a heavy bloom, typically spring into summer. Loads here often track with nearby Sunny Isles neighbors but can differ from beaches just to the south because mats arrive in patches and tides redistribute them along the shore. We don't publish a fixed number that's wrong by afternoon. The score you see is the value the satellite measured, and it changes as new imagery comes in four times a day.
When will Sunny Isles clear up?
Beached sargassum decays on a known curve once it lands, so an isolated landing often thins within a few days unless new mats keep arriving offshore. The 7-day forecast on the map runs specifically for Sunny Isles, projecting detected mats along wind and current vectors to estimate what reaches the sand and when. Days one to three are the most confident; later days are an outlook we label honestly. City and county cleaning crews work this stretch regularly, which can clear lighter lines fast, while a sustained bloom may keep refreshing the supply. Check the forecast tab the night before, then confirm the live score the morning of your beach day.
Cleaner beaches near Sunny Isles today
If today's Sunny Isles reading is avoid, the live map covers neighboring Miami-Dade and Broward beaches so you can compare real scores instead of driving on a hunch. Haulover, Bal Harbour, Hollywood Beach, and Hallandale sit within a short drive, and because sargassum lands in patches, one can be noticeably cleaner than another on the same morning. Each beach shows its own Beach Score and status from the same satellite pass, letting you pick the clearest sand nearby. During a strong belt arrival the whole stretch can be hit at once; then the forecast helps you choose the clearer day rather than waste the outing.
