Is It Safe to Swim at Navarre Beach Today?
Swimming conditions are reasonable with 1.4 ft waves and moderate west winds. The yellow flag signals moderate hazard, and the purple flag alongside it warns that dangerous marine life has been reported — check what has been sighted before you go in. Water temperature at 85°F offers good comfort for time in the water. Weather is the main constraint today: a 70% daytime rain probability with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely means the morning is your best window. Monitor weather updates before entering the water and observe standard water safety practices.
A purple flag is flying alongside the yellow flag today, which means dangerous marine life has been reported in the water. It is a separate warning from the surf-hazard flag and does not replace it — treat both as active. Check with lifeguards or at the beach access for what has been sighted before you get in, and keep an eye on children in the shallows.
