Well, it didn't hurt our feelings that the severe weather forecast for yesterday missed us! There is a Beach Hazards Statement in effect for Allegan County today, Thursday, June 18. Stay safe if you are heading out for a beach day!

🌊 What does that mean for your beach day?

The National Weather Service has issued a Beach Hazards Statement for Allegan County through 6 PM tonight — and this one is worth paying attention to before you pack the cooler.
Here's what's going on out there:

🌊 High wave action and strong currents

🚫 Dangerous swimming conditions

🌉 Piers may be heavily swamped by waves

The big concern: Strong currents can pull swimmers into deeper water fast, and high waves can sweep people right off piers — even when it doesn't look that rough from shore.

Our ask: Stay off the piers, and monitor local beach conditions — those colored flags are there for a reason! 🚩 A yellow flag means hazardous conditions are present; a red flag means the water is closed.

Check with local authorities for any beach closures before you head out.

The lake will still be there tomorrow. 💙 Stay safe, Allegan County!
