A lot of sargassum came in the last few days of January when there was a strong North ground swell (driven by low pressure systems far North in the Atlantic) combined with a North wind. After several days the wind shifted and that resulted in the heaviest build up of sargassum being washed away. The the rest of February we were getting squalls at night that would bring some in - it varied a lot from one day (or night) to the next. It is the most and the earliest I have seen it there. Because it was coming in with the storm action at night, there was not a lot in the water - it mostly washed up on the beaches so it didn't really interfere with going in the water. I did not notice the hydrogen sulfide smell that happens when it sits in the water and decays. Most of it was drying on the beach. We left on March1. We will be back in mid-April.

Good morning. Any sargassum problems on Anegada? We will be there in mid May. Thanks Impossible to forecast even a few days ahead, much less months.

Kind of hard to forecast what it will be like in May. We were there beginning of Feb and there was already quite a bit on the N and E facing shorelines (early for the quantity received). It is a big bloom year. I
