From Walter:

Reporting in from near Bay/Walton county line a mile east of Pinnacle Port Condos:  Rambunctious surf, stiff SE breeze, intermittent breaks in clouds.  No rain so far this morning.  On our morning beach walk, we saw random dead brown seaweed leaves washed up, but won’t be bothersome once the surf settles enough to go into the water.  We saw a few pieces of busted up jellies that had washed up.

Air temp about 80, humidity quite high.  Breeze should be plenty enough to keep biting flies at bay.

Walter reports: Near perfect water at Panama City Beach, about a mile east of Bay/Walton County line at The Shores condos.  At 3 PM CDT, water warm, gentle surf, air temp mid to high 80s.  Mostly cloudy, light breeze.  On our way in, we stopped at Okaloosa Island Boardwalk, and saw no appreciable June Grass near the pier.  Surf was rather lively, though.

I say: the calm before the storm…

From Butch:

MT sent 2 pics so you can see how the water conditions went downhill:

From MT:

Brian reports: Dark brown and June grass all over me. Been like this the last two days, seems worse today than yesterday

Lisa reports: Water is CLEAR. waves are big near the beach. Hard for little ones to enjoy, but other than that a perfect morning at the beach
