Rip currents can form spontaneously and suddenly in the surf zone, but they usually occur when waves break over a sand bar, water \u201cpiles up\u201d between the bar and the beach, and flows out through gaps (rip channels) in the sand bar. Offshore directed velocities of over 1 m\/s can be reached, which makes a rip current difficult to counter, even for adult swimmers. The website&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.muienradar.nl\/\">www.muienradar.nl<\/a>&nbsp;provides daily predictions of swimming conditions for the beach of Egmond. The predictions are based on model computations of nearshore tidal, wind- and wave-driven currents. The prediction system provides lifeguards and beach visitors with information about the swimming conditions, with special attention to the occurrence of rip currents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Type: &nbsp;<\/strong>Web Application<strong> <\/strong><br><strong>Project Phase: <\/strong>Operation &amp; maintenance<br><strong>Type of assessment: <\/strong>Monitoring<br><strong>Purpose: <\/strong>Assessing swimmers safety as a result of morphological alterations, such as nourishment<br><strong>Requirements: <\/strong>Knowledge on hydrodynamics<br><strong>Relevant Software:<\/strong> Google Earth plug-in, compatible Browser (eg.
