Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rip currents are narrow, fast-moving currents that flow away from the shore and into the open sea within the surf zone. They pose a danger to swimmers and surfers as they can quickly pull them out to sea. Swash currents are the opposite, they flow towards the shore and push water up the beach. Tidal currents are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun and are not specific to the surf zone. Body currents are currents caused by a person swimming or floating in the water. Longshore currents flow parallel to the shore within the surf zone.
