Rip Currents: Preparedness and Prevention

Update: 2023-06-29

Description

Rip currents are powerful, channeled currents of water that can move at speeds of up to eight feet per second, and can occur at any beach with breaking waves. This image shows a rip current using a harmless green dye.

Rip currents pose a threat to those that spend time in the ocean or Great Lakes. In this episode, Dr. Gregory Dusek, senior scientist with NOAA’s National Ocean Service, talks with us about rip currents, NOAA’s national rip current forecast model, and ways to protect yourself and others from this public safety risk.
