Volusia County Beach Safety has issued double-red flags along the coastline. This means no one should be entering the water due to hazardous surf conditions and strong rip currents.

Recent tidal activity has left a significant amount of debris in the water and on the shore.

WESH 2 reported the Ponce Inlet jetty damage earlier today from severe tides.

The structure has been closed since Hurricane Imelda, when it first experienced tide-related impacts, officials said.

Recent tides have also brought large amounts of seaweed ashore.

Beach Safety officials remind visitors not to remove or disturb the seaweed, as it plays an important role in capturing sand and helping beaches and dunes recover naturally.

County crews will begin debris removal once conditions improve.
