Beach Hazard Warning June 30
There is a Beach Hazard Warning in effect today, Saturday, June 30th through 8PM this evening. Areas affected include Acadia National Park, Lamoine Beach, Schoodic Point Peninsula, Castine, Roque Bluffs State Park and Quoddy Head State Park.
With the forecast for temperatures to be in the 70's and 80's through Thursday July 5th, there is a very strong likelihood that these Beach Hazard Warnings will be extended daily through July 5th.
The warm air temperatures of around 70 degrees may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which are currently only in the 50's
Anyone on boats, or paddlecraft should use caution and be prepared for immersion and the cold water, according to the warning issued by the National Weather Service.
Beach Hazard Statements are issued on days when a significant number of boats and paddlecrafts are expected to be out on the water and when warm air temperatures may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water. Paddle smart from the start. Always wear your lifejacket. Be aware of wind conditions, tides and localized currents.
