When does June grass arrive?

I know, it's called June grass right. I get that, but last year we came down the last week in July, and it was terrible. Fishing in the surf was hopeless. I saw some reports of it lasting forever this past season, but when does it usually arrive? We are wanting to come in early June and I was really wanting to fish this year. Thanks.

We are there in 11 days. You will have to keep us posted. I know there is not a thing I can do either way. Just helps to be in the right frame of mind.

I swim regardless - last summer was a very good reminder that a little algae in the water is not the worst thing that can happen.

I can take a little but I have seen it so thick it was just gross. I can't believe I only have 9 days left and I don't have the suitcases out. How is the water looking these days?

I won't let a little thing like June Grass ruin my vacation. I have been there when there was none, and I have been there when it is was so thick when I took my bathing suit off I looked like the "Swamp Thing". Still had a blast! It is Mother Nature and she does her own thing. With that being said, I will see you in 37 days. :wave:

Making our annual trek in July. Two weeks this year! Staying at Watersound. I really appreciate the updates to this specific post. Yes. the beach is great either way but I like to know the status of the June grass. Usually to adjust fishing plans.

June grass is no big deal compared to the many vacations we spent growing up down around Clearwater, burying dead fish during red tides. Seven whole days digging trenches and smelling the stink, year after year.

The Gulf is not a swimming pool that can be adjusted to tourist season. She is nature.

Nevermind... figured it out. not exactly close.... but beautiful just the same. Hoping the June Grass isn't too bad in SoWal. I'm sure it will be a beautiful weekend for everyone. Have a great holiday weekend for those lucky enough to be in SoWal right now.
