bandjwayne Posted September 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2018 We are cruising out of Tampa in the end of March 2019 & my family is looking to extend our vacation with a stay in Clearwater Beach. Does anyone know how the red tide is affecting that area now & thoughts on what it will be like in March. Thanks!

hrhdhd Posted September 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2018 No way to know about next March, but the problem is worse when the water is warmer. We spent a week in Madeira Beach a couple of weeks ago (just south of Clearwater), and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheezus Posted September 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2018 You can keep up with the status on the FWC page. March is VERY far out, especially as red tide would be concerned. Most likely it won't be an issue, in my opinion. http://myfwc.com/redtidestatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South, the beaches are improving but still pretty bad. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaJules Posted September 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Absolutely no reason not to book something now in Clearwater for March!!! No way anyone would know what it will be like then, plus red tide generally is worse in summer\fall when it has been hot. In March when the water has been (and still is) cold, its not prevalent. BTW, red tide is always around, its just not usually visible on the beach itself, or as deadly as it is now (and that is well south of Clearwater).
