EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Duluth has issued a Beach Hazards
Statement, which is in effect until 8 PM CDT this evening.

* LOCATIONS...Park Point Beach.

* TIMING...Through this evening.

* DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS...Are expected along the Lake 
  Superior shoreline due to high wave action and strong rip 
  currents.

* HIGH WAVE ACTION...Can make swimming difficult on days such as 
  this. Incoming waves in rapid succession can tire a swimmer 
  quickly.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away 
from shore, which occur most often at low spots in sandbars, near 
shoreline structures such as peninsulas or breakwalls, and near 
river mouths.
