Seahawk summer basketball camp back in ninth year

this ocean dynamic.

When visitors come to this area they might think of the ocean as another attraction like the Boardwalk, amusement park or miniature golf.

Although the ocean is an attraction it is certainly a force of nature and should be treated with great respect.

As was mentioned before, these rip currents can be a benefit to the surfer, especially when the surf has some size they can help the surfer move out past the breaking waves.

Rip currents can frequently be spotted as a section of water moving more quickly away from the beach than the surrounding water.

Waves can be breaking around the rip current but not so much in the “rip” due to the indentation in the sandbar, which is deeper water.

Often the water of the rip will have a different color, if even slightly.

These are a few tell tale signs of rip currents but are not always easy to detect.

This discussion is not meant to scare or frighten the ocean goer, but a key word to remember is that of respect. Respect this force of nature and it can tend to offer great rewards.
