Low Swim Risk Along Lake Erie Beaches Today
US · Published Sep 28, 2026
• The National Weather Service in Cleveland, Ohio, has issued a marine forecast for Lake Erie beaches, including locations such as Kelleys Island, East Harbor, and Presque Isle.
• For Monday, September 28, 2026, a low swim risk is in effect, indicating that large waves and dangerous currents are not expected.

Impact & Risks

The low swim risk means that while large waves and dangerous currents are not anticipated, swimmers should still exercise caution, especially near piers, breakwalls, and river outlets where dangerous currents may still exist. The moderate UV index suggests that sun protection, such as sunscreen and protective clothing, is recommended to avoid overexposure to the sun. Boaters and beachgoers should also be aware of the water temperatures, which are in the mid to upper 60s °F (18-20 °C), as prolonged exposure to cooler water can lead to hypothermia.
