Ginger reports:

“We were at Pensacola over memorial weekend and there was no June grass yet. The waves were rough making the water appear darker but it was very clear!”

Jennifer H kindly sent us this update:”Conditions improving a bit at Okaloosa Island today. People are swimming and there are breaks in the thick June grass. This morning it was as thick as pea soup around 530-830 down the entire coast with no breaks.“

Jennifer H sent us these pics & report:

“Some pics of junegrass on Okaloosa island from 5/28/19. I’d say 10 on grosenss scale but I’ve never witnessed junegrass before.”

Another pic from BBD:“Junegrass is here. Welcome to summer“

Butch (another super commentor): reports:

“Okaloosa Island between beach access 2-4. Small amount of June grass in water. Visibility in water is still 1-2 feet”

Me again: Seems to be some sargassum on the beach

Jamey’s (our super-commentor) daughter thoughtfully sent us this early season pic:

Another update on Crystal Beach conditions: “No June Grass at all. Grossness index is zero. Slight amount of seaweed in the water. Surf is high. Some surfers in the water. Red flags flying.“

A longtime reader reports: “ Beautiful day at Crystal Beach in the Destin area. Grossness index is zero. Water is fantastic!”

Labor day 2018 Pricess beach Okaloosa island. Very few specs of vegetation.

Me again: “vegetation” is an excellent term to use if you want to submit oics but don’t know if you’re looking at June grass.
