July 30, 2:30 p.m. – All Beaches Open; Heat Advisory in Effect
Posted on July 30, 2010 by South Walton Update
All 15 of our beach communities are open for enjoyment and we’ve received no reports of tar balls washing ashore since this morning. According to DEP Reports, Heat Advisories are in effect for all of Northwest Florida today.
The NOAA Oil Spill Trajectory shows the oil plume is 175 miles from Pensacola, and 250 miles from Panama City. It is expected to remain well south and west of Florida, with no direct impacts through at least Sunday.
At the urging of the Florida Department of Health, the local health department has posted Oil Impact Notices at beach access points, advising beachgoers of health tips to follow if noticeable oil product is present. Beachgoers are advised to exercise personal judgment as conditions can change quickly.
