...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...
The National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan has issued a
Beach Hazards Statement for dangerous swimming conditions...Which
is in effect from Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon.
* HIGH WAVE ACTION... Large waves and dangerous currents are
expected. Conditions are life threatening.
* STRONG STRUCTURAL CURRENTS...Expected.
* STRONG LONGSHORE CURRENTS...Expected.
* RIP CURRENTS...Possible.
* LOCATION...Beaches from Sheboygan County to Kenosha county.
Beaches with particularly dangerous conditions include...
General King Park Beach in Sheboygan...
Kohler-Andrae State Park Beaches...
North Beach in Port Washington...
South Beach in Port Washington...
Harrington State Park Beaches...
Atwater Beach in Milwaukee...
Bradford Beach in Milwaukee...
North Beach in Racine...
Zoo Beach in Racine...
Sam Myers Beach in Racine...
Wind Point Lighthouse Beach in Racine...
Eichelman Beach in Kenosha...
Southport Park Beach in Kenosha...
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Dangerous pounding waves and life-threatening currents are
expected at the beaches. People visiting the beaches on Tuesday should stay
out of the 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.
A Longshore current is a lake current that moves parallel to
shore. Longshore currents can be strong enough to prevent
swimmers from being able to keep their feet on the bottom, making
it difficult to return to shore.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in
sandbars. Rip currents can sweep you into deeper water.
Roughly 20 percent of those that fall in cold water die in the
first minute of immersion due to cold water shock. Always wear a
life vest and consider cold water protection gear. Cold water
can kill.
