June Grass gone?

[andreworlesia]

We are planning to arrive on Friday at WC. Has the June grass diminished and how does the ocean appear after all the rain? Someone posted a few days ago that it was not a pretty sight. We were hoping for the beautiful "emerald green"?

Piles of it, can't even see the Gulf from the 4th floor of the Inn.

Sorry, seen this question all to often. It is still here, but it is not bad. Of course if you want to avoid it all together come before June or after September.

like split pea soup at Grayton, today, but there were spots of none. It was all fairly close to shore. It will be hit or miss. Calm seas today, but some rough seas will push it onshore (out of the water). Enjoy it while you can.

BTW, the last two years, we had it come in during May.

Sorry to appear uninformed, but do you guys call sargassa grass, june grass, or is it that (other) stuff, very slimy? We get the sargassa type but not the other at GS. I've experienced both on SOWAL beaches many times, but hope to have less this year mid Aug. But, as we all know, its up to mother nature

June grass is the slimy stuff.

yesterday at Grayton...

Split-Pea Soup

 

[grammyc]

Yeah, that's what I thought. The bloom from this stuff kills my nose. Thanks for the pea soup review!

and watch out for the jellyfish getting caught up in the June Grass when it washes ashore.

As I said, it is hit or miss. Grayton was mostly hit, but a bit further to the east, at the State Park, the June Grass was a miss.
