Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to
the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are …

Rip currents are fast-moving flows, traveling “outward almost at right angles to the shore”,
creating a natural hazard for beachgoers, who suddenly find themselves in deep water …

Megarips have long been recognised as an important, yet poorly documented, mechanism
of beach erosion on high-energy embayed beaches. The persistence and cumulative effect …

A field experiment was conducted on a high energy macro-tidal beach (Perranporth, UK) to
examine rip current dynamics over a low-tide transverse bar/rip system in response to …

Rip currents are strong, narrow seaward-flowing currents in the surf zone and are common
on energetic sandy beaches. They are generally associated with distinct beach morphology …

ABSTRACT Austin, MJ; Scott, TM; Russell, PE, and Masselink, G., 2013. Rip current
prediction: development, validation, and evaluation of an operational tool. This contribution …

Understanding and predicting surf zone risks is of paramount importance to prevent
drowning incidents and severe spine injuries on beaches globally. This study holistically …

Rip currents are the primary hazard on surf beaches, and early studies described them as
fast, shore-normal flows that extended seaward of the surf zone. Based on this traditional …

This study describes a laboratory experiment on rip current circulations over a moveable
bed. Rip current characteristics over eight contrasting nature‐like beach morphologies are …

This study describes the first comprehensive measurements of nearshore current patterns
across the entire extent of an embayed beach bounded by headland rip currents. A field …
