Any webpage to check Galveston beaches?

If I wanted to go to the beach and find out the level of algae, pollution, water temperature, etc. Is there any webpage for that?

Thanks

I've never seen one with up-to-date data. They just show averages over time or single event samplings that may be months old.

I think your best bet would be contacting A&M Galveston ( Texas A&M Galveston ) and see if they have an obscure website where they post their data whenever they do their testing.

You can just assume algae is going to be high. The pollution is off the scale. The temp well that's anyones guess.

Despite you thinking pollution is off the chart, although it never makes the list of the cleanest beaches -- it also doesn't make the list of the most polluted. List is from 2012.

There are several webcam websites. Here is one....

It has wave height, wind direction and speed, water clarity, air temp, water temp.

And we all know the quote about assumptions.

There are several Facebook pages that provide updated information, like Galveston Island Tourism & the Galveston Fishing Pier.
