Rip current
A rip current, commonly referred to simply as a rip, or by the misnomer rip tide, is a strong channel of water flowing seaward from near the shore, typically through the surf line. Typical flow is at 0.5 metres per second, and can be as fast as 2.5 metres per second, which is faster than any human swimmer. They can move to different locations on a beach break, up to tens of metres a day. They can occur at any beach with breaking waves, including oceans, seas, and large lakes.
