[HTML][HTML] Rip current types, circulation and hazard
Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to
the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are …

Rip currents
RA Dalrymple, JH MacMahan… - Annual Review of …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
Rip currents are fast-moving flows, traveling “outward almost at right angles to the shore”,
creating a natural hazard for beachgoers, who suddenly find themselves in deep water …

Impact of the winter 2013–2014 series of severe Western Europe storms on a double-barred sandy coast: Beach and dune erosion and megacusp embayments
The winter of 2013/2014 was characterized by a striking pattern of temporal and spatial
extreme storm wave clustering in Western Europe. The 110-km long Gironde coast, SW …
