HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — A beach-hazards statement is in effect through 2 p.m. today for Ottawa, Muskegon, Mason, and Oceana counties.
People visiting Lake Michigan beaches can expect high wave action — from 3 to 6 feet early Tuesday, settling down to 2 to 3 feet as the day wears on — which will create strong currents and dangerous swimming conditions.
Piers may become swamped by waves.
Strong currents can pull swimmers into deeper water and high waves can sweep people off piers. Water temperatures, which are hovering in the 50s, will make it more difficutl to swim.
National Weather Service officials recommend staying out of the water today.
