No June grass! Yellow flags this morning but the surf was 4-6′ with two sand bars very close to the beach and a lot of beach erosion, so a bit rough and requiring quite a bit of caution. Water was pleasant, cooler than the air around 7:30, somewhat clear and a lot of baitfish in the water.

Thank you to all our veterans! Some may not know that Johnson Beach is named in honor of a local veteran.

No June grass, water is in mid-60sF, lots of fisherfolk and shore birds. I don’t recommend swimming, as the waves are a minimum of 5-6′. Also saw about 9 dolphins, presumably attracted by the fish. The road is still closed for the boardwalk and parking lot construction.

No June grass, flags are yellow, water is rather murky because it is raining.

No June grass! Flags were yellow at 7am. The water was a little murky and the temperature has increased to about 80F, maybe a bit warmer. There weren’t many people at the beach. This is possibly due to the heat warning and/or the biting flies. They didn’t look like yellow flies, more like the ones you see around livestock. They were annoying. Lots of birds on the beach and some kind of small fast fish in the surf. It was about 6″ long and sort of herring shaped. I couldn’t get a good look due to the murky water.

Please note that after this week the road east of the main parking lot at Johnson Beach will be closed. They are putting in three new parking areas and fixing the boardwalks over the dunes.

Slightly less murky than AL but still some decent-sized waves rolling in. No June grass and for some reason there is no flag at this beach. However, the flag at the state park was yellow.

This is one of the nicer public accesses on Perdido Key. There is plenty of parking & it is ADA accessible. Bathrooms are porta-johns. I think only Access 2 has a permanent bathroom. Everything here is newer/in better repair than the other beach accesses. The Crab Trap is right next door if you like that sort of thing.

The heat warning starts at 10am today, so pay attention to that.

The water is still a little rough and murky but no June grass! Flags are yellow and purple.

June Grass Report readers who are squeamish about the natural state of FL public beaches might want to try this one. There is a parking fee but you get a raked beach, beach chair concessionaire, beach toy exchange, and a snorkeling reef. The fee station takes cash or credit cards. It also looks like there may be a lifeguard at times, although none were present this morning.

No June grass! The water is very murky and a bit rough though, not good for swimming. The flag was yellow this morning but it may switch to red. Also, there is a Heat Warning in effect, so the beach isn’t recommended.

No June grass! Similar conditions to yesterday, but bigger waves due to the wind shift from N to WNW. The underwater visibility was worse, maybe 3′. I swam about a quarter mile parallel to the beach and saw a LOT of juvenile southern stingrays, 6-8″ across the disc. Be sure to shuffle your feet! Flag was yellow while I swam but hopefully they added the purple flag
