Bro I cannot see shite... the arrows would be nice irl
They get on my nerves
That’s north Avoca 💪
R.I.P. current indeed 🤦🏿
Great advice. But Ive been swimming and snorkeling in the sea many many times and never been caught in a rip - because I only swim in designated areas or where I know there is no current. If in doubt, stay out.
Good explanation.
In a nut shell, be honest with yourself. Am I a strong swimmer? Most of us who can swim would probably think I'm good enough. If you learned to swim in a pool or lake...you will underestimate the ocean. On the plus side, we're more buoyant in salt water. As I've gotten older (now have a little more body fat) I can float in the ocean and raise my hands, feet and head out of the water. Stay calm is the best advice but that really only works if you've swam in the ocean enough.
Walk in ankle deep, and you can feel it but be safe.
Excellent video! I didn't realize the darker stream of water heading back to sea as a warning.
Great explanation
Scary! Here in the US many people drown as a result. Those of us that are not avid swimmers are most at risk😩
caught in a rip swim to the side they tend to be narrow also if there is foamy water on 2 sides and dark clear strip of water down the middle >> that strip of dark water is a rip tide
No more rippies
Great video, but it falls short by not telling you how to get out of a rip current. Stay calm and swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the rip current, and then swim back.
Excellent video! Ty🙏🏽
Don't give a rip your life.😂 Seriously though I encountered many in Hawaii over the 3 years I lived and surfed there. If you don't know how to get out of one I would not advise getting in water above your knee. It's just a fact of how they operate and you a shea bit more advanced swimming ability than the average tourist that doesn't live by an ocean.
Just wanted to say this is very nicely done and extremely helpful. After watching this i have a total understanding. Visuals were great.
So if you get into rip current it is better just let it drive you where it goes and then swim back to shore in amny cases. They will dissolve into sea and lose all its strenght pretty soon. One way is to swim away from rip meaning if it would be a river you would swim to the beach and eventually you get off from rip. They never take you underwater for sure. Main thing is to stay calm, if you are strong swimmer you can try to slowly swim away from it to the side, if you are not strong swimmer then maybe better just let it carry where it goes and then calmly swim to shore but never ever swim against it, even the stronger swimmer in world cant win swimming against rip. 1. Never fight against it 2. Always stay calm in water, always, water is your friend when you stay calm. you were born to be in water like all mammals. 3. Never use all your endurance, if you start to feel tired just let it drive you and swim back when it dissolves and try to swim calmly back from a different path you came if rip appears again. They usually appear at same places.
at my big age I still can’t swim 😭
Great commentating,spot on at all times 👍
While I don't live anywhere near the deep warm seas, I've always wondered about riptides. The very idea is terrifying. Thank you for your public service.
I don't need to identify a riptide because sharks keep me safely on the beach. Thank you sharks 👌
This video needs to be part of the school education system
Is this some local thing that you have and Baltics don't? Been going to swim in the sea almost every year and haven't seen anything remotely like it - we don't even have a word for it. Does this have to do anything with the grade? Coz I swear sometimes you can walk 100m away from the shore and sit on your ass with head poking over.
Not enough people know this shit it needs to be taught in schools, nearly drowned in one of em couple days ago, I was trying to swim against it and somehow broke out don,t know how i did it.
I got into a rip current at Hawaii and it pulled me out like super far before it dissipated and I had to do a very slow and easy breast stroke my way back to shore for 45 minutes, constantly adjusting my trajectory. It gets old real quick
Incredibly informative and well put together video. Wish they had more stuff like this for avalanches
Just heard about this dad who saved his daughters from a rip current in florida. I still can't tell the difference. I'm going to have to really study the video.
Having just come back from the Caribbean Sea, I had to look this up because it’s the first time I experienced a current so strong that no matter how hard I swam it appeared I wasn’t at all moving. My sunglasses are now somewhere in Cuba.
Okay. You forgot to mention that to get out of it, you have to swim out to sea and once you’re out of the current, then you can swim back in.
01:13 what's that dark object bobbing just beyond the break, beyond the diagonal "feeder" rip to the right? Essential viewing for all beach goers, globally.
You little ripper.
I don't understand how these are dangerous lmao just swim into and away from it then swim back?
Who before gets in the water stops and checks for this?? Not enough education about it in Australia.
Raise your hand if you’re here after surviving 😅
it's no joke... i was caught in a riptide in my teens - i was being tumbled around like a yarn underwater and before i knew it i was maybe 20-30 feet away from shore. i choked on water while doing 360's underwater. luckily there were also other people 20-30 feet and even further out and i waved at them for help once i reached the surface. it's incredible how deep the water felt 20-30 feet away - maybe around 10-15 feet deep. very terrifying.
I almost didn't make it out at an unpatrolled beach in NSW yesterday. Before I realised what was going on I was pulled a further 20m out from shore and while I'm a decent swimmer I was already fatigued from having gone to the gym in the morning. The ocean didn't care how much I could deadlift. For a few minutes I genuinely thought it was over and that I was going to become a statistic. I'm grateful I was able to recall advice to stay calm and try to swim parallel to the shore... But I now have a whole new appreciation for the potential dangers.
thanks..as someone who died in a rip in 2018..I can confirm this is accurate.
I recall swimming on a low tide sand bar at Shelley Beach near Bateau Bay. By the time I decided to head in the tide had grown and the channel between the sand bar and the beach head had become quite deep. It was only about 3 metres wide but I could not swim across the current and found myself heading sideways a mere 2 metres from the edge of the water, there was nothing I could do and had to go with the flow. Luckily, I hit a shallower bit, got my footing and hauled myself out. It was really strange not being able to swim to the shore which was right in front of me and quite terrifying.
I remember this time I went boogey boarding and I was looking for rougher waves that are more bumpy and choppy so I turn to my left and I see this darker and deeper patch of water with rough looking waves that appeared to be crashing into each other a bit and since that’s what I was looking for I went to it but as I came closer I felt this strong sweeping force pulling me closer and I realised that it was a rip current I almost got sucked in but I got away with a struggle
No.
❤Jesus te ama ❤da seu ❤pra Jesus ❤

This is a great video but I wonder if it would be even better if you showed what a rip looks like from eye level, on the beach. The drone aerial view makes it reasonably obvious but you won't necessarily see that from the beach.
this is how i almost died, i have ptsd because of it now. really important to spot them and educate yourself about them
So Australian, mate! LouiseAustralia 🦘
Greetings from Brazil. I just learned we have them here too. A young man lost his life just this past Sunday, caught in one...at the beach across from my house, where I usually go swimming... So sad :( I'm still shocked and began researching which brought me to this video. We should respect and fear nature. Thanks for sharing this important content.
Serious Question...90% of all currents Go Back to shore. But where do the rest go?
Long time surfer here. Rips at the ends of the beaches, near the rocks, are ones to watch out for, especially. Teach your kids how to float comfortably even with waves going over them. (with breath inflation and holding). Teaching them how to dive under waves and be flexible, is good too. And learning to not be embarrassed to ask or yell to surfers (or a hand up for lifeguards) for help** (I would never ever ask for help _ duh!) And I realised after watching Bondi Rescue, that I'd been negligent too, in keeping an eye out for others, rather than just the next set of waves. So now I watch out for not just mates or family, but kids out of their depth, or going into a rippy section. (Esp on an unpatrolled beach, or after hours). Or not aware that theyre being taken by a current fast. Young kids can go under so quickly and quietly.
I use them to get outside of the crash zone in a hurry.... with less effort. They serve me.
Great video
