UPDATE 2:05 p.m. Wednesday:

The Marquette Police Department and the Marquette Fire Department are continuing to search for two people swept off Black Rocks in Marquette.

Neither have been located at this time, but it is believed that 53-year-old Robert Anderson and 37-year-old Sarah Hall, both from Iron River, may have been the couple swept off the rocks.

This incident remains under investigation and the search efforts will continue.

The Marquette Police Department and the Marquette Fire Department are being assisted by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Marquette County Sheriff's Office.

UPDATE 9:20 a.m. Wednesday:

The U.S. Coast Guard says its search efforts at Presque Isle Park in Marquette will remain suspended unless new information is received about the two people reportedly swept into Lake Superior Tuesday afternoon.

A U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson from Sault Ste. Marie says the decision to suspend efforts was made after a helicopter from Traverse City searched the water around Black Rocks for three hours Tuesday. The helicopter was called in because strong winds and waves made it too dangerous for boats and divers to search the water.

The Marquette Police Department says a man and a woman were swept off Black Rocks around 1:35 p.m. Tuesday. The identities of the two people have not been released.

Police had said Presque Isle was closed Tuesday, but a crowd of people gathered at the park to watch and take pictures of the waves. Black Rocks is a popular scenic overlook and swimming area with cliffs about 20 feet above the water. After the search began, police said anyone at Presque Isle could be arrested.

Wave heights were around 25 feet and sustained winds were near 40 mph with higher guests Tuesday afternoon around Black Rocks.

The Coast Guard says the man they're searching for is described as bald with facial hair and wearing a camouflage jacket and jeans.

The Coast Guard is warning people to stay away from rocks and cliffs during hazardous weather conditions.
