June grass update for Walton County 6/19/13:PM

0-2 on the June Grass Grossness Index. 

I went for a quick swim around 7pm. The surf was mostly flat, the water was warm, and I didn’t see any jellyfish and not much June grass. It was clumped up in a few places but easy to avoid. My swim was quick because a thunderstorm approached. If you hear thunder get out of the water and go indoors! Do NOT stay on the beach, umbrellas and canopies get fried on a fairly regular basis.. If you can hear thunder you are close enough to the storm to be stuck by lightening. If you can see lightening get off the beach FASTER!

At the time this report was made the beach flags were yellow and purple, but check them again before you head to the beach.

I would love it if you would share your personal June Grass and beach condition reports on the Most Recent June Grass Sightings & Beach Conditions page, to further improve the June Grass Report. It would also be great if you left a comment to tell me where you’re traveling from to visit the beach!

If there isn’t a current June Grass report up on this site I suggest checking the link to local beach cams on the left side of this page. They can often give you an idea of what the water is like. It is also important to “Know Before You Go” and check local beach flags. They are updated twice daily at 9:30am and 1:30pm.

PLEASE ENJOY THE BEACH RESPONSIBLY!
