That is a gorgeous sunrise picture (the shot is facing east).
The Jupiter inlet is also an "outlet" for the Loxahatchee river. After a big rainfall and with an outgoing tide the flow of water out to sea is >7 knots. Its impressive and alarming if you are standing on the rocks of the jetty.
The park where this happened has a big "tide pool" where little kids can swim and play - but it is connected to the inlet channel and if swimmers venture out too far...

I also live in the Jupiter area. This is one of the prettiest pictures I have ever seen of the lighthouse. For those that are seeking an explanation of the inlet and channel, if you follow the water up and to the right the inlet opens via a jetty/channel into the Atlantic Ocean. The currents, even with calm waters as in the the picture, are deadly near the outlet.
