DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Due to the high risk of rip currents, the Duluth Fire Department has issued a warning for dangerous swimming conditions at Park Point beaches effective until 10 a-m on Friday.
The warning means that wind and wave conditions can support life threatening rip currents and beach goers should stay out of the water regardless of swimming experience.
Red flags are flying along the beaches to indicate dangerous swimming conditions. Flag locations are located at the South Pier, the 12th Street beach, Lafayette Park, and two locations at the Park Point Beach House.
The public will be notified if swimming conditions improve before this warning expires.
More information on conditions and rip currents can be found by visiting the Park Point Beach website at www.parkpointbeach.org.
