The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana has issued a
Beach Hazards Statement for dangerous swimming conditions, which

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

* STRONG RIP AND STRUCTURAL CURRENTS EXPECTED...

* OVERVIEW/POTENTIAL IMPACTS...North winds 10 to 15 knots will

  tonight before veering northeast.

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
