June Grass gone?

Piles of it, can't even see the Gulf from the 4th floor of the Inn.

Sorry, seen this question all to often. It is still here, but it is not bad. Of course if you want to avoid it all together come before June or after September.

like split pea soup at Grayton, today, but there were spots of none. It was all fairly close to shore. It will be hit or miss. Calm seas today, but some rough seas will push it onshore (out of the water). Enjoy it while you can.

BTW, the last two years, we had it come in during May.

Sorry to appear uninformed, but do you guys call sargassa grass, june grass, or is it that (other) stuff, very slimy? We get the sargassa type but not the other at GS. I've experienced both on SOWAL beaches many times, but hope to have less this year mid Aug. But, as we all know, its up to mother nature

June grass is the slimy stuff.

yesterday at Grayton...


Split-Pea Soup

Yeah, that's what I thought. The bloom from this stuff kills my nose. Thanks for the pea soup review!

and watch out for the jellyfish getting caught up in the June Grass when it washes ashore.

As I said, it is hit or miss. Grayton was mostly hit, but a bit further to the east, at the State Park, the June Grass was a miss.

Any more info on this June Grass for today? I heard yesterday that is was diminishing?

It does change daily and that is a good reason not to worry about it, much like the weather forecast. WYSIWYG. Live in the moment.

Anybody out there have a take on this jelly situation? We've had them pretty much all summer since march, which is really weird for our area. It has actually gotten much media attention, but no reasoning.

A few jellies washing ashore, but not too many at the second sand bar. They are getting trapped in the June Grass. Doesn't seem out of the norm.

Thanks for the lessons and photos of life at the beach.

Honestly we must have been very lucky over the years and other than jellyfish I was not aware of the beach flaws such as June grass, Red Tide, etc. until SoWal.

A great place to learn alot about the beach.

No june grass in Destin the last few days

Lots of June Grass in Seagrove

Hey Joe, what's bdp?

I saw a little girl a Seaside tonight whose hair was full of June grass. It was a really cool effect!

Even better would be if it had a conditioning effect!

I'm coming down Friday. Sort of a spur of the moment kinda thing. Dropping the wife in Destin for a girls trip, then I'm heading east for some personal R&R. June grass or not, JB is going to Par-tay. I'll be in Dune Allenn

PM me if anyone is going to be around .

How exciting! Have funn!

The June grass was very bad when we arrived on the 5th. It didn't stop me though. I just had to spend a little extra time in the shower de-june grassing myself. We were trying to think of something that could be made from that stuff. I think you could use it for Knitting SJ. Why don't you try it and see if it works. The June Grass stayed pretty much the whole week as well as the jellies. It did clear up a lot on about the 3rd day we were there, and of course the last day we were there it was pretty much crystal clear water. The June Grass or the jellies didn't really bother me at all. I still enjoyed myself and you just have to realize sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Not that June Grass or jellies are bad, IMHO. You just have to work around them. Have a great vacation.

p.s. JB.....have funn!!!!!

got a spinning wheel?

got a spinning wheel?

I think you can find one in Seaside on Monday nights. Give a bag of June Grass to Briar Rose, and she maybe she can spin a little green yarn before pricking her finger....

Ok, since I don't have the beach cam, can you describe the beach today? Emerald green or split pea?
