    That’s what a rip current looks like. So called because it will rip your soul from your flesh if you fight it.

    Guess I should add for those not in the know; If you suddenly get yanked out to sea, roll with it until it stops pulling, swim sideways till you’re past the tip (heh), then swim back to shore.

      Or just swim parallel to shore the whole time. You don’t have to wait until you’re 100s of meters out to sea. Just don’t swim against it.
