Do hurricanes cause rip tides?
Yes, hurricanes can cause strong rip tides. The high winds and large waves generated by hurricanes can disrupt the ocean's surface and create powerful currents that flow away from the shore, leading to dangerous rip tides. Swimmers and beachgoers should exercise caution during and after a hurricane to avoid the risk of rip tides.
Are the heavy waves that are caused by hurricanes called rip tides?
Hurricanes do produce rip tides, but rip tides are not waves. They are strong currents near the shore that take water and anyone caught in them out to sea.

Does the moon effect hurricanes?

Are heavy waves caused by hurricanes called rip tides?
No, rip tides are strong narrow currents that flow outward from the shore. Heavy waves caused by hurricanes are typically referred to as storm surges, which are abnormal rises in water level due to a storm's winds and low pressure.
Does a full moon effect the oceans tide no why then does the news keep saying sandy hit the east coast as a cat 1 at high tide and a full moon?
The New Moon and Full Moon stages cause high tides. This has nothing to do with hurricanes. Hurricanes are caused by thunderstorms in Africa, which are drifted out over warm ocean waters to eventually reaching us as a hurricane. Hurricanes are not water tides. Comment: But hurricanes can obviously cause surges of water along coasts. High tides would make this worse. (I don't think it's got too much to do with Africa either.) Counter Comment: "Most Atlantic hurricanes start to take shape when thunderstorms along the west coast of Africa drift out over warm ocean waters(...)" and right, high tides does add on to the effect of flooding, but doesn't make the hurricane itself any stronger.
