About National Rip Current Awareness Week
United States
Ends: Jun 10, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
The second week of June is Rip Current Awareness Week, an public service campaign supported by the US Government’s National Weather Service and other agencies.
Most rip current fatalities each year are visitors from non-coastal locations. Rip currents are powerful currents of water moving away from shore and are the leading surf hazard for all beachgoers, especially for weak or nonswimmers.
The United States Lifesaving Association states that 80 percent of surf beach rescues are attributed to rip currents. Over 100 people die annually from drowning when they cannot escape a rip current.
Rip currents form when waves break near the shoreline, piling up water between the breaking waves at the beach. One of the ways this water returns to the sea is to form a rip current, a narrow jet of water that moves swiftly offshore, roughly perpendicular to the shoreline. Under most tide and sea conditions, the speeds are relatively slow; however, under a particular wave, swell, and beach profile conditions, their speed can quickly increase to become dangerous to anyone entering the surf, even the most experienced swimmers.
Rip currents can be very narrow to hundreds of meters wide. The seaward pull of rip currents varies from just beyond the line of breaking waves to hundreds of yards offshore.
