Water Quality Advisory

Hey guys I just found out there are some water quality advisories at local beaches.

Okaloosa

 

Walton

 

From the website:

“Florida’s beaches are safe to enjoy responsibly. At present, all panhandle beaches have satisfactory water quality for fecal indicator bacteria, with the exception of six in Okaloosa County and two in Walton County. We often see elevated levels of fecal indicator bacteria after experiencing significant rainfall. The following panhandle beaches currently have a health advisory for fecal indicator bacteria exceedances:

  • Okaloosa
  • Walton
  • Blue Mountain Beach
  • Clement E. Taylor Park
  • County Park (Miramar) Beach
  • East Pass
  • Garniers Park
  • Henderson Beach
  • Poquito Park
  • Rocky Bayou State Park

For Jennie

I’m glad you find the June Grass Report useful. Honestly the readers have the most up-to-date information about where the June Grass is, so check the current conditions tab, or failing that try some of the local Web cams.

I’m not exactly sure where Tidewater is. When submitting pics please try to include the town. I know that can be confusing, so there is a map in the FAQ.
Thanks!

Blue Mountain Beach June 25, 2016

Monica reports:”Beautiful and clear in morning, grass started to move in at noon, by 3:30 was pretty thick. Daughter said it was like swimming in orange juice with extra pulp. Opposite was true at beginning of the week, Sunday pretty thick and beautiful by Monday. Just never can tell how it will go.”
