Beach Hazards Statement issued May 27 at 4:03AM CDT until May 27 at 10:00PM CDT by NWS Duluth MN

Effective: Wed May 27, 2026, 4:03 AM
Expires: Wed May 27, 2026, 10:00 PM

* WHAT...Dangerous swimming conditions are expected along the Lake Superior shoreline due to high wave action and strong rip currents. * WHERE...Minnesota Park Point and Wisconsin Point Beaches. * WHEN...From 7 AM CDT this morning through this evening. * IMPACTS...High wave action can make swimming difficult on days such as this. Incoming waves in rapid succession can tire even an experienced swimmer quickly. Rip currents can move you away from land. To avoid being swept away, swim parallel to the shore to exit a rip current. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A high risk of rip currents is forecast again for Thursday.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
