Is It Safe to Swim at Navarre Beach Today?
The Yellow flag means medium hazard — moderate surf and/or currents are possible. Rip current risk is moderate. Today's conditions are swimmable with minimal surf and light winds, but the yellow flag is a reminder that the Gulf can still surprise you. Stay near a staffed lifeguard stand, avoid swimming alone, and get out of the water if you hear thunder. Rip currents are a year-round hazard — if you get caught in one, swim parallel to the shore until you're out of the pull, then back in.
