1 Δεκ 2016 · In this section we define common and generic rip current types based on an understanding and interpretation of the different fundamental mechanisms involved in driving rip current flow.
25 Σεπ 2024 · A rip current is a strong, localized, narrow surface current that flows rapidly away from the shore, typically through a break in a sandbar or near jetties, piers, or other structures. Rip currents form due to variations in water pressure caused by wave activity.

1 Ιαν 2016 · Definition. Rip currents are narrow currents initiated close to the shoreline that flow strongly in a seaward direction through the surf zone and beyond and are an important mechanism for the offshore transport of water and sediment and consequently play a major role in shaping beach morphology.
1 Ιαν 2021 · Download reference work entry PDF. Definition. Rip currents are strong, concentrated, and often channelized seaward flows found on beaches that extend from close to the shoreline through the surf zone and varying distances beyond.
The NWS forecasts rip current activity based on expected wave height, wave period, wind direction/speed, and tidal fluctuations through wave models and by monitoring ocean observations through weather buoys. Rip currents can be observed almost every day, though most of them are weak.
