[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 …

Infragravity waves: From driving mechanisms to impacts
Infragravity (hereafter IG) waves are surface ocean waves with frequencies below those of
wind-generated “short waves”(typically below 0.04 Hz). Here we focus on the most common …

Geologically controlled sandy beaches: Their geomorphology, morphodynamics and classification
Beaches that are geologically controlled by rock and coral formations are the rule, not the
exception. This paper reviews the current understanding of geologically controlled beaches …

Dynamics of rip currents associated with groynes—field measurements, modelling and implications for beach safety
Rip currents can occur around groynes and other coastal structures (eg breakwaters and
geological headlands), which provide a boundary to the wave-induced flow field and …

Quantifying optically derived two-dimensional wave-averaged currents in the surf zone
Complex two-dimensional nearshore current patterns are generated by feedbacks between
sub-aqueous morphology and momentum imparted on the water column by breaking waves …

Rip currents and alongshore flows in single channels dredged in the surf zone
To investigate the dynamics of flows near nonuniform bathymetry, single channels (on
average 30 m wide and 1.5 m deep) were dredged across the surf zone at five different …

Wave and tidal controls on embayment circulation and headland bypassing for an exposed, macrotidal site
Headland bypassing is the transport of sediment around rocky headlands by wave and tidal
action, associated with high-energy conditions and embayment circulation (eg, mega-rips) …

The psychology of beach users: importance of confirmation bias, action, and intention to improving rip current safety
The rip current hazard on beaches is a global public health issue. While physical controls on
rip current formation and flow behavior are relatively well understood, there has been a …
