Yellow flag at Navarre Beach today. Water is sitting at 73°F, which is comfortable for May. The wind has shifted to out of the north at 14 mph, pushing up small seas around 1.6 ft — manageable but with some chop. The bigger factor today is the rain: there's a 92–96% chance of showers and storms, so plan accordingly. The silver lining is the UV index is low, so sun protection is less of a concern than staying dry.
Is It Safe to Swim at Navarre Beach Today?
The yellow flag means medium hazard — swim with caution. The north wind and modest 1.6 ft surf are manageable physically, but the real issue today is the weather: thunderstorms are likely, and lightning means get out of the water. Swim near the lifeguard stand, stay aware of the sky, and exit if you hear thunder. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last strike before returning. Do not stay in the water during a storm.
