The June Grass Report

Dune Allen is a 0 for June grass! The water is super nice, although a red flag is flying. The waves are calmer than other places.

June grass is a 1-2 here. Red flag at Miramar Beach. It’s a bit crowded and the water is murky. It also feels a bit cold.

Henderson is flying double red flags still, but it seems like they haven’t heard they are flying yellow on the island?

June grass is about a 0.5 and the watet is pretty nice.

Okaloosa Island Beasley Park is pretty clear with just a few tiny bits of June grass. I’m going to call it a 0.25 on the Index. Flags are yellow, the surf is a little rough, and the water is a nice temperature.

We’ve been getting reports that the June grass is in at Gulf Shores and a bit on Okaloosa Island.

If you see June grass, in addition to reporting it here, please consider helping out the June Grass Working Group. They are beginning a study on June grass and you can help them by doing a DIY soda bottle sample or by collecting samples to help identify the species of algae in June grass blooms.

Thanks & enjoy the beach!

Hello beach people! I am trying to spread the word about our sister site: Clear Springs FL. It works the same way as the June Grass Report, but lets SCUBA divers, swimmers, boaters and other spring lovers know about the conditions of springs before they visit. So far it’s just Panhandle springs but hopefully spring lovers all over FL will report in. If you know anybody who loves springs please pass the URL onto them. Please come check out the springs if you’re tired of the beach (ok not today, because of the rain)! Thanks!

Thanks Butch, we appreciate the insight our long-term readers can give!

The June Grass report is very excited to assist the newly-formed June Grass Working Group! The June Grass Working Group is beginning a study to learn more about June Grass algal blooms. The June Grass Report is providing all previous observations of June Grass to the June Grass Working Group for analysis (they’re public anyway). Your observations are already helping but if you would like to be more actively involved in this research please visit the project webpage.

Could regular users please tell me which of the web cam links are consistently no longer good and please give me the URLs for ones not listed? Thanks! I want to do a few updates on the page before the June Grass comes in.
