The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids has issued a Beach Hazards Statement...which is in effect from 10 AM EDT this morning through Tuesday afternoon. * High wave action... strong currents and dangerous swimming conditions expected. * Strong structural currents expected. * Strong longshore currents expected. * Rip currents possible. * Location...Beaches from St. Joseph to Manistee. * Beaches with particularly dangerous conditions include... South Beach in South Haven... Grand Haven State Park... Pere Marquette Park in Muskegon. * Overview/potential impacts... South winds will create dangerous conditions today along south facing piers and breakwaters. Winds will go west tonight with the danger switching to the possibility of rip currents on Tuesday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... High Wave Action makes swimming difficult and can tire even a strong swimmer quickly. 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. && $$ WEATHER.GOV/GRR

South facing piers will be most susceptible to being swamped by waves and for structural currents today. Longshore currents will become more likely than rip currents. Beaches with particularly dangerous conditions today will include South Beach at South Haven, Grand Haven State Park, and Pere Marquette Park in Muskegon. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Avoid swimming at Lake Michigan beaches or walking out on piers the next couple days! Piers will be heavily swamped by waves. A Lakeshore Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds will generate flooding of low areas along the lakeshore. Further beach erosion is likely and lakeshore property owners should be prepared for the possibility of more damage to the dunes and bluffs. && $$ WEATHER.GOV/GRR
