Regional Synthesis: Volusia County

Hazards: Strong Southward Longshore Current (up to 7.28 mph): Lost child hazard in effect for Ormond, Daytona, and Dunlawton beaches.
Waves: A dropping swell is contributing to relatively low offshore rip current risks across Volusia County today. However, this energy is driving a powerful, sweeping southward longshore current that poses a significant lateral displacement threat.
Tides: Low: 3:31 AM, High: 9:39 AM, Low: 3:44 PM, High: 10:00 PM
