Red Tide?

HERE ya go Shallows---->>CLICK HERE

I really hate to ask for fear of scaring visitors off, but have there been any reports of red tide in the last couple of days?

Fuzz had a call at Gulf Place yesterday and says that the moment he got out of the car, his eyes began burning. Even after rinsing them out with saline solution, last night he was still .

He's better today, after a dose of Benadryl and many vials of Refresh...

Thanks Biff !! Maybe it was a plant or something. Or pesticide.

you never know Could be ANYTHING

Can't you just throw a bunch of anti-biotics into the ocean????:funn:

Hmm, I don't think there is any Red Tide out there right now. I am really sensitive to it and can pretty much smell it way before other people begin to comment, and I haven't noticed anything.

As far as Red Tide goes, I am the canary in SoWal's coal mine.

Down here at Eastern Lake...

Can't see it. Can't smell it. Guess it's not here.

This is from Mr. Surf's web page yesterday:


WARNING: Red Tide is present. You may experience - Headache, burning eyes, sore throat & cough. DO NOT get in the water with any OPEN cuts or wounds & DO NOT GET NEAR THE WATER if you have Respiratory health problems. If you do get in the water take TYLENOL (best) or aspirin before going surfing & afterwards =it helps with symtoms. WASH OFF thoroughly with soap after surfing.

Tuesday 10am update 9/25/07:
Surf has not changed mush since earlier this am. Mostly tiny /maybe learner waves- knee high at best- = basically flat for surfing here in PCB. Some small but FUN LOOKING Easterly skim lines rolling in along shoreline. The swell we expected from the Low in the Gulf will not develop. We will see an Easterly wind swell today & tomorrow push towards the West on the East facing beaches. (FWB calling waist to chest high East Wind swell & Buoys reading at 4.9ft) It's a nice beach day (warm & a bit humid).
Enjoy the day. The water is Emerald clear green w/temps in lower 80s. Jellies out & about = be careful. YELLOW FLAGS in PCB. Red Tide is present but the offshore flow is keeping it at bay. No seaweed.
THANK THE LORD FOR ALL HIS GOOD BLESSINGS! - Honor God, Stay Fit, Share Waves & Have Fun!

Where does Mr. Surf get his info?

Where does Mr. Surf get his info?

How long does Red Tide season last?

Ah... Mrs. Surf. I wondered if there was a Mrs.

Mrs. Surf...

How long does Red Tide season last?

There is no red tide season. It comes when it wants and leaves when it wants. Down South, toward Sanibel, it is my understanding they have had to deal with it for going on 3 years. We have been fortunate the last few years and have not had to deal wtih it.

Reading the post from Mr. Surf, am I mistaken or did the next day never mention the Red Tide. Said it was the perfect surfing day. But, I also noticed that Walton & Okaloosa County had provided no samples to the state. That's entirely possible.

I have never seen Red Tide last just one day.

Could someone provide the Mr. Surf website please?

Could the person who's eyes watered have simply gotten a little salt water in their eyes?

Drat. I was afraid you would say that.

My husband wasn't in the water. He was on the north side of 30-A, in Gulf Place, in a long-sleeve shirt and a tie, and the discomfort began immediately upon getting out of his car. Red tide was my first thought, but it could have been something in the landscaping.

Perhaps I should make him take me to Amore for lunch and see if it happens again. ;-)

Mr. Surf

OK. I must be confused. I can't find anywhere on that website where there are daily updates. I pressed every link. Could you guide me please?

You betcha.

Go over to the left side in the blue box, and there's a box that says Surf Report, which will take you here.

Does anyone know who is responsible for supplying water samples? I am a little freaked out over this because I am asthmatic and Red Tide gives me fits.

Yippers; check this out ____>

Absolutely. This does need to be investigated further. I was on Seagrove Beach for most of the day yesterday. I didn't have the first hint of Red Tide symptom's no coughing , or irritated eyes. I was in the water as well. Must of been something in the landscaping. But a trip to have lunch on the deck at Amore's should clear it all up. ;-)

Hey THANKS! That is a much better reference. The other just say no samples given.

Thanks a lot. I have bookmarked that page.
