A man checks out the crashing wave on the north jetty of the Boynton Inlet on January 2. Strong winds and heavy waves produced wave that crashed at least 20 feet above the jetty.  Jerry Lower/ The Coastal Star

Powerful surf the at Lantana Beach the morning of Jan. 2 led lifeguards to fly double red flags, meaning no swimming. This view of the beach is looking south with the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa in the background. Willie Howard/The Coastal Star
