What: High wave action, strong currents, and dangerous swimming conditions expected.
Where: Muskegon, Ottawa, Allegan and Van Buren counties.
When: From mid afternoon through this evening.
Impacts: Strong currents can pull swimmers into deeper water and high waves can batter and exhaust swimmers trying to swim back to land.
Additional Details: The swim risk is likely to increase later in the day as winds strengthen and waves build toward 3 to 5 feet. Winds will be from the northwest late in the day. Some of the beaches with a relatively higher swim risk today include Muskegon State Park, Holland State Park, and South Haven North Beach.
Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions and do not venture out on piers. Please check with your local authorities on potential beach closures.
