It is called a swell...
Rip currents are often associated with undertow, but the two are not related. Undertow occurs with all waves.

surface wave
surface waves (plato)
A wave can move energy and not matter because a wave is not matter itself. A wave is a part of the electromegnetic spectrum (e.g. Gamma waves, x-rays, visible light, UV, Infrared, microwaves and radiowaves) and is not something that has a weight. By that i mean it is not composed of atoms which contain neutrons, protons and electrons for example. These three can all collide against other particles and therefore move them. Waves are not made up of particles.
rip tide
Rip currents are often associated with undertow, but the two are not related. Undertow occurs with all waves.
An undertow is when a tidal wave is coming so the strong force of the wave come under and pulls them un der
When a strong wave crashes against the shore, and then comes back and is so strong it pulls something or someone in with it
