Yellow and purple flags are flying at Navarre Beach this Friday. Water temperature reaches 85°F — the warmest reading of the week — with northwest to southwest variable winds between 2 and 12 mph throughout daylight hours. Wave heights measure just 0.7 feet, among the calmest surf of the week. Air temperatures span 76°F to 89°F with a minimal 7% daytime rain probability. The purple flag signals jellyfish in the water; take extra precautions before entering the Gulf.
Is It Safe to Swim at Navarre Beach Today?
The yellow flag indicates moderate hazard — swimming is permitted but caution is advised. The purple flag is the priority concern today: jellyfish are present in the water at Navarre Beach. Scan the water surface and nearshore area before entering. If stung, exit the water calmly, rinse the affected area with seawater (not fresh water), remove visible tentacles carefully without bare hands, and seek medical attention for severe reactions. With waves at just 0.7 feet and 85°F water, physical surf conditions are quite calm heading into the holiday weekend. Review current beach advisories and follow lifeguard guidance before entering the water.
Jellyfish remain in the water at Navarre Beach today. Scan before entering, and avoid contact with any marine life in the water or washed up on shore. Jellyfish have been reported across all three beaches this week — children and individuals with sensitivities should take extra care near the water's edge.
Yellow flag conditions are in effect at Navarre Beach today. With 0.7 ft waves and light variable winds, surf conditions are among the gentlest of the week — but stay alert near sandbars and trough areas where currents can develop even in calm conditions. Monitor flag status throughout the day.
