Lifeguards are flying red flags for dangerous conditions along the Volusia County coastline, thanks to Subtropical Storm Ana.

Pounding waves are as high as 4 to 6 feet in some places along the coastline.

Two people were rescued Friday because of the rough surf. It's also possible that the beach will be closed to driving during midday Saturday and Sunday because of high tides.

Faith Raines, mother of two, has already kicked off her Mother’s Day weekend celebration.

"Mostly on the beach today and tomorrow and probably go to church Sunday," said Raines while caring for her two daughters in Ormond Beach's Ray Romano park.

Raines and her family will not be alone celebrating Mother's Day on the beach.

Volusia County Beach Safety and Ocean Rescue is calling in as many lifeguards as they can for a busy weekend.

"Usually Mother's Day is one of our busiest weekends, so we will have our hands full," said Capt. Tammy Marris with Volusia County Beach Safety and Ocean Rescue.

Lifeguards will be busy not just because of the crowds expected, but because Subtropical Storm Ana, located off the Atlantic coast north of the county, is triggering rough surf.

And even if waves subside, the damage is already done on the ocean floor -- breaking up sandbars, which in turn creates rip currents, dangerous currents which pull swimmers into the ocean when they are caught in one.

"We're flying the red flag today. We probably will fly it throughout the weekend," said Captain Marris.

It's because of increased activity both in and out of the ocean that Beach Safety is calling on all parents to be extra cautious.

Llifeguards are asking parents to request RES-Q bracelets.

Parents can write all the contact information on that bracelet and place it on their child's wrist in case the child becomes lost.

RES-Q bracelets are free at any toll booth or lifeguard tower.
