...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH THIS EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan has issued a
Beach Hazards Statement for dangerous swimming conditions...Which
is in effect from 1 PM CDT this afternoon through this evening. 

* HIGH WAVE ACTION... Large waves and dangerous currents are 
  expected. Conditions are life threatening.

* STRONG STRUCTURAL AND LONGSHORE CURRENTS ARE EXPECTED. RIP 
  CURRENTS ARE POSSIBLE.

* LOCATION...Beaches in Sheboygan county. Beaches with 
  particularly dangerous conditions include... 


     General King Park Beach in Sheboygan...

     Kohler-Andrae State Park Beaches...


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Dangerous pounding waves and life-threatening currents are
expected at the beaches.  People visiting the beaches 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.
