N2  - An investigation of the occurrence of rip currents in southern California revealed that the development of these features is influenced by wave conditions, beach morphology, tidal level, and wind. The largest rips are formed during periods of intense wave activity. A study of sedimentation by rip currents was performed at Redondo Beach. The currents selectively remove fine sand and minerals with a low specific gravity from the beach. Large rips transport significant quantities of sediment to the inner continental shelf. Rip current channel deposits are sedimentary structures which may aid in reconstructing paleoshorelines.    Keywords: Drowning; Drowning Prevention; Water Safety <p />
