What causes rip currents to form?
Rip currents form when water from breaking waves flows back to the ocean. This can occur due to a variety of factors like uneven topography, narrow channels in sandbars, or differences in water temperature. The flow of water concentrates into a narrow, fast-moving current that can pull swimmers away from the shore.
What special properties do riptides have?
Riptides, also known as rip currents, are strong, narrow currents that flow from the shore back to the open ocean. They can pull swimmers out to sea and are dangerous for those caught in them. It is important to swim parallel to the shore if caught in a rip current to escape its pull.
