High Swim Risk Tuesday PM

Active Midweek

July 2026 Climate Statistics

Increasing southerly winds will build waves of 3 to 5 feet along Sheboygan county beaches Tuesday afternoon and evening resulting in high swim risk conditions and potential for dangerous currents, especially on southern side of piers and break walls. Moderate swim risk expected just south, with swim risk decreasing south of Port Washington.

Looking at another multi-day period for intermittent rain chances beginning Tuesday evening through Wednesday night. A few thunderstorms will be possible mainly Tuesday evening with isolated chances into Wednesday. Also cannot completely rule out a stronger storm or two with gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Higher rainfall amounts expected for south-central and southeast WI with totals approaching and/or exceeding an inch through midweek.
