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 …

Rip currents are shore-normal, narrow, seaward-flowing currents that originate within surf
zone, extend seaward of the breaking region (rip head), and can obtain relatively high …

The accepted view of rip currents is that they are an efficient mechanism for transporting
material out of the surf zone. Previous rip current campaigns on natural beaches have …

The controls that affect the degree of spatio-temporal change to foredunes following
scarping are reviewed herein. As sea-levels rises and climate changes, dune scarping will …

Dune erosion is shown to occur at the embayment of beach mega-cusps O (200 m
alongshore) that are associated with rip currents. The beach is the narrowest at the …

Rip current kinematics and beach morphodynamics were measured for 44 days at Sand
City, Monterey Bay, CA using 15 instruments composed of co-located velocity and pressure …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Coastal drownings claim on average 82 people per year in Australia.
Beach flags are a primary safety strategy used on beaches. They are located away from rip …

The last five years have been marked by rapid technological and analytical developments in
the study of shore processes and in the comprehension of shore deposits and forms, and …
