Yellow flag flying at Navarre Beach this morning. North wind at 7 mph is keeping things settled — the Gulf is sitting at 75°F and seas are running around 1.6 ft, flat enough that the water looks almost glassy from the beach. The UV index is low today, which is a genuine change of pace for late April. You can still catch some sun out there, but you're not fighting the same exposure battle you would on a typical summer afternoon.
Is It Safe to Swim at Navarre Beach Today?
The yellow flag means medium hazard — moderate surf or currents, so swim with caution. With north wind pushing offshore and surf at 1.6 ft, rip current risk is generally lower than you see on onshore flow days, but the yellow flag is still up for a reason. Stay close to shore, watch your kids, and don't go out alone. Always check the flag at the lifeguard stand before you go in — conditions can shift through the day, and what the pier looks like from the parking lot isn't always the full story. You can also check the current flag status on our live conditions page.

7-Day Outlook
The north flow today should ease heading into the weekend as the wind pattern relaxes. Seas are expected to stay manageable through the near term. UV stays on the lower end compared to what's coming in summer, but that changes fast once May arrives. Enjoy it while it lasts, and check back for updates as the weekend approaches.
