SOWAL Beach Flag Status Online

Does anyone know what happened to the beach flags online?

We depend on it to know if it was a good beach day before we head down, so I'm kind of sad to see it's gone.

Are you serious? We are still under flood warnings with a tropical storm headed this way. So, it probably isn't what most would consider a "good day" to go to the beach. Double red flags are flying and the water is closed unless you are surfing with a leash tied to your leg and board.

Yes, I understand today is not a good day on the beach. However, on other days the flag status is less obvious and the web site was helpful. Does anyone know what happened to it?

never knew there was such a thing and ive been here for years.

but than again, in no fan of the flag system. i can look at the water and tell if its a good idea to go in or not and frankly dont need a flag to decide for me.

fyi - normally the weather itself will help you determine the gulfs actions.

:scratch: Hmmm . . . you are correct, the SWFD website does not seem to be working. I found a SWFD facebook page . . . try this: South Walton Fire District | Facebook#

Thank you, Foodlover, for the useful link.

There are issues with the server.

I wish someone, anyone, would write a widget for this so I could drop it in a WP site.

You should be able to use an iframe, so long as they don't move the location of the flag, which it doesn't appear they will...

Yea but doesn't that throw up a warning sometimes due to some iframe exploit?
