We're looking at a yellow flag at Navarre Beach this morning, with water at 74°F and a light northeast breeze at 6 mph. Seas are sitting around 1 ft — about as flat as it gets. The trade-off is the sky: there's a 60–66% chance of rain today, so expect periods of showers, possibly thunderstorms later. Air temps are mild, running between 69°F and 76°F. UV is low, but that doesn't mean skip the sunscreen entirely — bring it anyway.
Is It Safe to Swim at Navarre Beach Today?
The yellow flag means medium hazard — swim with caution. Seas are 1 ft and the NE wind is light, so physically the conditions are calm. The bigger concern today is the weather pattern: showers and possible thunderstorms are in the forecast. If you hear thunder, get out of the water immediately and wait 30 minutes after the last lightning before returning. Swim near the lifeguard stand and keep an eye on the sky.
