- Rhythmic beaches consist of a rhythmic longshore bar that narrows and deepens when the rip' crosses the breaker, and in between broadens, shoals and approaches the shore.

- Undertows (or ‘rips'’) are the main problem. If you find yourself being carried out by a '''rip''', the important thing to do is just keep afloat; don?t panic or try to swim against the '''rip''', which will exhaust you. In most cases the current stops within a couple of hundred metres of the shore and you can then swim parallel to the shore for a short way to get out of the ' rip and make your way back to land.

- Given that a large number of all rescues conducted by Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) occur in rips' (a ' rip being a relatively narrow, seaward moving stream of water), this is critical surf-safety information (Surf Life Saving Australia, 2005).
