...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM EDT /10 AM CDT/
THIS MORNING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana has issued a
Beach Hazards Statement for dangerous swimming conditions, which 
is in effect from 11 AM EDT /10 AM CDT/ this morning through 
Monday morning. 

* HIGH WAVE ACTION AND DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS EXPECTED...

* STRONG RIP CURRENTS EXPECTED...

* STRONG STRUCTURAL CURRENTS EXPECTED...

* OVERVIEW/POTENTIAL IMPACTS...Waves of 2 to 4 feet today will
  build to 3 to 5 feet this evening. Northwest winds of 10 to 20
  knots will gust to 25 knots at times. High wave action in
  combination with direct onshore winds will lead to strong rip
  and structural current development. 
 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Life threatening waves and currents are expected at the beaches.
People visiting the beaches should stay out of the water.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from the shore...which occur most often at low spots or breaks in
sandbars. Rip currents can sweep you into deeper water.

Structural currents form along piers where longshore currents and
wave action flow into the structure. Structural currents can
sweep you out into deeper water along the pier structure.
