Is It Safe to Swim at Navarre Beach Today?
The red flag means high-hazard conditions: strong currents and rough surf. An organizing system in the Gulf has prompted a Tropical Storm Watch, and the Rip Current Statement covering Navarre Beach remains in effect through July 24, 7:00 AM CDT. Stay out of the water, keep young or inexperienced swimmers well back from the surf line, and follow lifeguard instructions if red flags are upgraded to double-red.
