Conditions & alerts
Beach-flag conditions, National Weather Service alerts, and official water-quality information.
Safety comes first
Follow what you see at the beach
Posted warning flags, signs, and on-site instructions always take priority. Conditions can change quickly. Follow lifeguards and local authorities, and never use the app as the sole basis for entering the water.
Call 911 for emergencies. Read complete safety and discrepancy guidance.

Flag sources differ by beach. Labels in the app distinguish official local flags, estimates, and unavailable live flag information.
Gulf Shores
Official local beach-flag information when available.
Orange Beach
Official local beach-flag information when available.
Fort Morgan
May show a clearly labeled estimate inherited from the nearby official Gulf Shores flag. It is not an official Fort Morgan observation.
Dauphin Island
Official town safety guidance is reviewed, but no automated flag status is fabricated. Other independently sourced coastal information may still appear.
Beach-specific planning
Beach Activity & Event Impact
The app may highlight a scheduled activity happening at—or directly affecting—the exact supported beach you are viewing, including major access-impacting events, cleanups, wildlife and conservation activities, educational programs, and community events. It is not a complete regional events calendar and does not report live attendance, crowd size, or parking availability.
Exact beach matches
Events appear only after an official venue, exact address, or approved location reference is matched to an existing beach.
Visit impact, carefully worded
High-impact events may note that parking, traffic, beach space, or access could be affected. Confirm current details with the organizer.
Submit an event
Authorized organizers may email [email protected] with their contact information, exact supported beach, date and time, meeting location, organizer, and official HTTPS information link. Please confirm that you are authorized to provide the facts and consent to their display. Every submission enters pending review, receives spam screening, and can never publish directly.
