The Juno Beach Pier is closed indefinitely after high surf and strong winds damaged its deck panels, according to WPBF 25 News.

Video footage shows waves from the Atlantic Ocean pounding the pier. The surf was driven by king tides and strong winds over several days. The pounding caused multiple deck panels to pop out at several spots along the pier.

The exact number of damaged panels is not known, but the video suggests more than a dozen have been affected. Because of the extent of the damage, the pier will remain closed for the foreseeable future.

Anyone planning a fishing trip or a walk out over the water in Juno Beach should check for updates before heading out.
