WEST MICHIGAN — Although it may be tempting to take a dip in Lake Michigan today — exercise some caution. Strong north-northwesterly winds will create moderate waves, which pose a risk to beachgoers.
Lake conditions have prompted authorities to issue a beach hazard risk along the lakeshore with waves building to around 2 to 4 feet through the afternoon.
MODERATE Beach Hazards impact most of the West Michigan lakeshore. See image below.
Rip current risks, structural currents, and longshore currents are also possible.
Areas near the north side of piers will be especially dangerous as a result of strong northwesterly winds. Pleasant weather conditions, like sunshine and mild temperatures are expected through the day.
