So far, so good. Very little June grass has showed. The water has been murky the past week but is beginning to clear.
Enjoy

Very little June Grass??? We were in Seagrove for a couple of weeks in mid to late June and I have never seen the water so gross. Murky, plus June Grass plus some seaweed.Fishing in the surf was next to impossible due to june grass and seaweed tangling in line and swimming was no fun. May was great. June not so much. Bet time for water clarity is not June-August.

Thanks all! I will take the "wait and see" approach. I'll probably throw the poles in the car and head toward Mexico Beach or The Cape. Seems to be a bit clearer there this time of year.

Regards

Just got back from a nice swim in Seagrove. Tropical Storm Debby stirred up some cloudiness that hasn't settled yet, but the storm also dissipated the June grass that we had last month. Of course, that could change by next week. Might clear up completely or might grow some more grass, who knows.

Hi all,
Visiting the Seagrove at the end if July, and just curious as to how clear the water has been? Thanks!

I would ask a few days before you come- a lot can change in a month!

June grass?

I've been watching the beach cams lately.....eagerly anticipating our yearly trip the first of August. What am I seeing in the water? Is it some heavy June grass? It almost looks RED on the beach cams. Did notice some beach goers in the water this morning....Maybe it's clearing?

Sargassum - it is a brownish red and since it clumps together nicely some areas might be clear.
