A wave-resolving modeling study of rip current variability, rip hazard, and swimmer escape strategies on an embayed beach

<p>Drownings due to rip currents are a major threat to beach safety. In this study a high-resolution Boussinesq model with a modified wave-resolving Lagrangian tracking module has been applied to a 2 km long embayed beach, Dadonghai of Sanya, Hainan Island, with the purpose of studying rip cur...
