Rip currents are powerful, channeled currents of water flowing away from shore. They
typically extend from the shoreline, through the surf zone, and past the line of breaking waves.
Rip currents can occur at any beach with breaking waves, including the Great Lakes.
Rip currents can be killers. The United States Lifesaving Association estimates that the
annual number of deaths due to rip currents on our nation's beaches exceeds 100. Rip
currents account for over 80% of rescues performed by surf beach lifeguards.
