Rip currents in the non-tidal surf zone with sandbars: numerical analysis versus field measurements
Oceanologia, 2020 Summary: Rip currents, which are local seaward-directed jets with their mean velocity exceeding 0.5 m/s, have been a subject of many studies since the 1940s.

Estimations of rip current rescues and drowning in the United States [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Rip currents are the greatest hazard to swimmers on surf beaches, but due to a lack of consistent incident reporting in many countries, it is often difficult to quantify the number of rip-current-related rescues and drowning deaths occurring along surf ...

Modelling the alongshore variability of optimum rip current escape strategies on a multiple rip-channelled beach [PDF]
, 2016 International audienceRip currents are a leading cause of drowning on beaches worldwide. How bathers caught in a rip current should attempt to escape has been a subject of recent debate. A numerical model of human bathers escaping from a rip current flow

Rip current types, circulation and hazard [PDF]
, 2016 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 ubiquitous on wave-exposed coasts.
