MILWAUKEE - The National Weather Service has issued a beach hazard statement for all lakeshore counties in southeastern Wisconsin from 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 6 until 4 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 7.
During that time, strong winds may create high wave action -- with waves building from five to eight feet -- creating dangerous, life-threatening swimming conditions. Strong structural and longshore currents are expected and rip currents are possible.
