Panama City Beach Flag Warning System • A GREEN flag means that the water is calm. • The undertow is slight to non-existent and it is safe to swim using the proper amount of caution! • A YELLOW flag indicates the presence of light surf or currents and additional caution should be used while swimming in the Gulf. • A RED flag indicates the presence of strong surf and currents. • Swimming in these conditions is not recommended as it presents a very high hazard to all swimmers. • A DOUBLE RED flag, however, means that the water is closed to the public! • No one is allowed in the water when a double red flag is posted! • A PURPLE flag indicates the presence of marine pest in the water such as jellyfish, stingrays or dangerous fish.

Rip Currents • Rip currents are powerful currents of water moving away from shore. • You can’t see Rip Currents, but they’re there. • They can sweep even the strongest swimmer out to sea. • If caught in a rip current, don’t fight it! Don’t swim towards the shore. Wait until you don’t feel the rip current pulling you anymore!

  13. Rip Currents • Swim to the side until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. • Most rip currents are narrow, and a short, swim • to the side will bring you to safety. “Swim to the side to stay alive!”
