INCIDENT LOCATION:
Due to the High Risk of Rip Currents today, the Duluth Fire Department is issuing a warning for dangerous swimming
conditions for Park Point beaches effective immediately and continuing until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. This warning means that
wind and wave conditions can support rip currents. Rip currents are life-threatening to anyone entering the water. Stay out of
the water regardless of your swimming experience. There are currently no lifeguards at Park Point, and red flags are flying
along the beach to indicate the dangerous swimming condition. Flag locations are: 12th St beach, Lafayette Square, and
Park Point beach. You 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
