Due to the high risk of rip currents today, the Duluth Fire Department has missed a warning for dangerous swimming conditions for Park Point beaches effective immediately and continuing until 10 a.m. Tuesday. The warning means that wind and wave conditions can support rip currents. Rip currents are life-threatening to anyone entering the water, so stay out of the water regardless of your swimming experience. Be advised that even calm waters after storm activity can support rip currents, so wait for warnings to expire. Red flags are flying along the beach to indicate dangerous swimming conditions. You are advised to stay out of the water.
