Please sign up for these when you come visit us. They send a message every morning around 10am with the daily flag status and if they change during the day, you get an update. Easy to turn off when you have to head back home.
Be in the know.
We receive a lot of questions about the current flag color or what the condition of the Gulf is or will be.
Our Beach Safety Division Lifeguards, who are trained and certified as USLA Lifeguards, determine the flag color after they come on duty each morning and complete their daily morning training drills. Part of their daily training is to determine the current conditions and they do that by reviewing the current and predicted weather patterns, by visually observing the water and then physically getting in the water and swimming to experience the conditions first hand in several locations up and down the beach inside the city limits. Once this is completed they will determine what the flag color will be. This usually happens around 10:10 each morning.
Do note that flag color can and does change during the day as conditions change.
You can text PCBFLAGS to 888777 to receive alerts on the flag conditions.
We want you and your family to enjoy the “Worlds Most Beautiful Beach”, but we want you to do so safely.
