Johnson Beach Gulf Islands National Seashore Perdido Key Escambia County, FL June 15, 2025
Despite rumors, no June grass here! Water was a little rough and murky, current was westward along the shore, wind from the south. Water was a pleasant temperature. Flags were yellow and purple, although I didn’t see any jellies there have been a lot on the bay side this week.
Johnson Beach Gulf Islands National Seashore, Perdido Key FL
0.5. Isolated patches of very decayed June Grass, but otherwise clear. Lots of people fishing and catching pompano. Not many shells on the main beach. Fairly windy from the southeast
THPSP Morning
Still a 0 on the June Grass Grossness Index. Folks seem to be having a great day at the beach. The safety flags were yellow, the wind was from NNW and the Gulf is pretty calm.
Lots of Choctawhatchee beach mouse tracks in the dunes.
Still Clear
THPSP and Sandestin are still at a 0 on the June Grass Grossness Index.
The wind is coming from the southwest and the water is still a bit choppy for swimming. The water also seems a bit warmer to me today.
There are a ton of black-bellied plover around. They are beautiful birds but very skittish. There are also a lot of other shorebirds like terns, gulls, willet, and sanderlings if bird watching is your thing.
I also noted a large number of black unicorn horn – shaped snails in shallow water, which is new for me. I will try to figure out what species. The beach and the Gulf are full of surprises.

June grass update for Walton County 8/12/13:AM
5-7 on the June Grass Grossness Index
Pretty much exactly the same conditions as yesterday, although the June Grass may have been slightly thicker. There were two deer, a ruddy turnstone, a sanderling, and some gulls at the beach.
In the future there will not be June Grass Reports on red flag days because I don’t encourage anybody to go in the water on a red flag.
At the time this report was made the beach flags were yellow, but check them again before you head to the beach. In Walton County you can text “beachflag” to 67463*
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 e 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!
