See, I told you guys that May is a terrible month to visit. :floor: The above picture was taken yesterday at Seaside. The rich Split Pea Green color is the June Grass in the water, also visible on top of the beach near the water's edge.

From today at Grayton Beach. I paddled from Grayton to the far side of Seaside and the June Grass is present in some streaks near the beach but mostly it is further out than where you should be swimming. Some parts of GB St Pk are completely clear and deserted of people, and the dunes there are looking beautiful. :wub:

Beautiful!!!!!!

We also arrive Saturday. Photos look great - June grass doesn't look like anything a couple of well placed Red Stripe beers won't fix.

okay now you all have me scared. we are arriving next weekend and my kids hate the june grass. We have not seen the gulf clear in the last 4 trips. we will be in Santa Rosa. Any chance it isn't as bad there?

I don't care one way or the other. I just want to sit in my chair at the edge of the gulf and enjoy the view. My kids don't like to swim in the june grass. One of they broke out the last time he swam in it. I guess we'll hope for the best and hope my kids don't hear about it or they will start whining before we even get there.

Where in Santa Rosa ( I assume you mean Santa Rosa Beach)? This whole area is considered as Santa Rosa Beach, including all of the Beach Communities.

why does the fix always have to remind me of the statement made by that kid that drowned: "gonna have a whole bunch of beer then go out and body surf the hell out of those waves, yeah!"

please be careful and for a less memorable vacation please don't drink and drive trucks, cars, motorcycles, boats, kayaks, jet skis or even bicycles - i can't ever say it enough - when you come out of a bar and get behind any wheel of any kind you better be as sober as a judge or you'll be in jail before you can say "bar" and "officer" in the same breath - 'the man' is watching you leave - literally

June Grass in July?

Hey. I noticed the latest postings regarding the June Grass was beginning of June. Leaving Sun 7/5 for Seagrove. Can anyone tell me if the June Grass is gone? How's the water? Thanks!

It rained like crazy last evening and that seems to have helped a bit. I walked a couple miles of beach this morning and the water looked clear because the june grass was all up on shore.
