| has gloss | eng: A rip current is a strong surface flow of water returning seaward from near the shore (not to be confused with an undertow). It is often mistakenly called a "rip tide" or "riptide", though the occurrence is not related to the tides. Colloquially a rip current is known simply as a rip. Although rip currents would exist even without the tides, tides can make an existing rip much more dangerous (especially low tide). Typical flow is at 0.5 meters per second (1-2 feet per second), and can be as fast as 2.5 meters per second (8 feet per second). Rip currents can move to different locations on a beach break, up to tens of metres (a few hundred feet) a day. They can happen at any beach with breaking waves, including the world's oceans, seas, and large lakes such as the Great Lakes in Canada and the United States. |

| has gloss | glg: Unha corrente de resaca é unha forte corrente superficial (ou case superficial) de auga, que retrocede desde a costa cara o mar. Xérase fundamentalmente no rompemento irregular das ondas ao longo da crista, chegando bruscamente á praia cun índice elevado de enerxía, desvanecendo logo sobre o fondo para, posteriormente, regresar cara ao mar por un carreiro a través das ondas. |

| has gloss | por: O que são Correntes de Retorno? As correntes de retorno podem ser definidas como o refluxo do volume de água que retorna da costa de volta para o mar, em virtude da força gravitacional. Também é conhecida como maré de retorno, rip current ou simplesmente vala, devido ao canal rompendo o banco de areia criado pelo o escoamento da água. Apesar das correntes de retorno existirem independentemente ao fenômenos das marés, as marés podem intensificar o perigo das correntes de deriva, em especial na maré baixa. A velocidade do fluxo de água retornando ao mar pode variar de 0,5m/s a até 3,5m/s. |

| has gloss | swe: En ripström är ett fenomen som uppstår när vatten sköljs över ett hinder, som till exempel ett sandrev. Vattnet kan då inte strömma tillbaka under det inkommande vattnet utan kanaliseras tillbaka genom smala öppningar i revet. Strömmarna kan bli väldigt starka och om man fastnar i en sådan ström kan man dras iväg fort och långt ut från stranden. Man ska aldrig simma rakt mot en ripström. |
