HOLLAND, MI — If Monday's cooler temperatures aren't enough to keep people out of the water, perhaps high waves could be a deterrent.
Four- to 8-foot waves are possible during the day through late Monday evening across the Lake Michigan shoreline. Increasing northernly winds in the wake of a cold front are expected to spur dangerous currents, especially along piers and breakwaters.
Locations up and down the shore, including Holland State Park, will see the worst of the conditions, forecasters say.
Winds are expected to gust to 20 mph or higher throughout the day. Air and water temperatures aren't expected to vary much, settling in the low- to mid-60s.
Conditions are forecast to gradually improve this week, with waves less than 1 foot on Wednesday. Still, below-average temperatures in the 60s might not make for the warmest beach day.
