Rip Current Time Lapse

Time lapse video showing how tracer dye spreads throughout a surf zone in Australia.

[@ulyanka177]

Purple dye is in the water to show the rip current and bring surfers attention to it - in the beginning of the video they just put it in the water, and by the end of the video you can see narrow line into the ocean - that's it, that's the current

[@PatrickRynne]

This is Rhodamine dye, commonly used in tracer studies in the oceans, lakes and rivers. It does not negatively impact the local ecosystem. There is a more in depth film about this on my other youtube channel youtube dot com/waterlust

[@sorestedhebytheTumtumtree]

Patrick Rynne Hi I just want to ask. I live in an archipelago so I often travel by ship. Whenever I'm watching the surface of the sea, I often see a sort of lane where the water looks calm or the wave pattern is more relax(?) but on its side the wave pattern is more jagged (imagine a strong wind blowing on the surface of the water). Could those lanes be rip tides? Sometimes there are "lanes" on the sea that seem to have a different shade of color that the surrounding sea. I tried googling this but I couldn't really find the answer.

[@samworthsister]

If you're a cute sea critter, that would be your way back into the open ocean!

[@BarbaraMorozova]

LOL For some reason I thought the surfers were some kind of bird walking like penguins.

[@MoAkira]

Barbara Rodriguez i watched the video again when i saw ur comment. i thought they were birds too LOL

[@BarbaraMorozova]

XD

[@koshiloco496]

Barbara Rodriguez Shut up skank.

[@BarbaraMorozova]

koshi loco or else what?

[@xiv1496]

+koshi loco damn show some respect. you don't even know her.

Found myself in one unexpectedly on Lake Superior. Thank God I knew what to do. I swam along parallel to the beach until, after what seems like about 100 feet or so, I felt was out of it. Luckily in swimming back in, I found myself standing on a rather shallow sandbar quickly. I was able to catch a breath and then swim the remaining 30 yards or so back to land. It happened near White Fish Bay on the U.P.

[@DarkFilmDirector]

Emma Newgate If you look at a map of the US, Lake Superior is the one to the left (west) of all the other Great Lakes, which divide the US from Canada. It is the largest freshwater lake in the world by sq miles or kilometers. It's actually bigger than a few entire states.

[@jaydayb]

From wikipedia : "rip current is usually narrow and located in a trench between sandbars"....if you notice here ,the guy is pouring dye specifically in a trench between two sand bars 0:07 and then dye spreads along that trench into the sea...so rip current happens when there exists a trench like here in shallow waters

[@misterfunnybones]

Kuzco: Don't tell me. We're about to go over a huge waterfall. Pacha: Yep. Kuzco: Sharp rocks at the bottom? Pacha: Most likely. Kuzco: Bring it on. Booooyaaaahaahaa!

[@danmiester4800]

emperors new groove hahaha

[@heartbreakmanNo1]

If only people don't die in real life, instead they get a really big boo boo :T

[@extremeisolation]

Thank god the rip current was there to pull the sea monster away before anyone was hurt

[@levthelion]

You use rip currents to get you quickly past the waves when youre surfing, especially if your a bad surfer :)

[@j3in725]

lev mikhaylov true dat!

[@titavaughns7698]

The people walking around in fast motion look so funny 😂😭😭

[@Q.Q.]

Very cool. Thanks.

[@HBCult]

that pretty cool. that is why you always paddle out in a rip current. hassle free.

[@gvrwang9287]

WOw, the sands even got sucked and blow up apart, thanks for the video !

[@saveouroceanlife1]

Patrick, thank you for not putting anything to harm the organism's or fish in the ocean. Frankly, if a person doesn't know how to swim...wear a PFD!!! It's better to look crazy than die! And don't go out by yourself which equals going out with another non-swimmer!

[@opwave79]

I’m just here for the people who didn’t read the description before commenting

[@RussellAndersonSNUE]

Is that a shark fin left of centre at 1:21 ?

[@happyboi3776]

Late, Its a surfer

[@saveouroceanlife1]

That's fabulous your educating "people who DON'T UNDERSTAND" how a rip tide works. Why are you sending it back to me some 5 months later? As an ocean person, I've learned to read the waters pretty well. Thanks for helping out those who don't get it. :)

[@Accumulator1]

That location, the way the shoreline extends out, is an obvious place for the current to circulate and flow back out. Would have been better to dye a not so obvious rip. Does a rip normally start that close to the shore? Also wonder how long of time does a rip area normally last?

[@santatigerclaus]

Marys just unsurprisingly sensitive, seeing all the destruction to the waters -big oil, the petrochem country floating between Hawaii and California - i thought the same thing but have seen dyes used to map aquifers so figured it was safe

[@CabhanListis]

Okay, thank you.

[@estrellafajardo]

Nice view

[@Demonetization_Symbol]

I saw someone get caught in the rip. 0_0

[@Demonetization_Symbol]

oh no

[@13374A1]

Lol that's woulda been funny as heck

[@Octopussyist]

anytime you notice that you should be moving towards the shore but are going nowhere, or you are even being carried further away.

[@PatrickRynne]

check out another video I did via Waterlust....just search "RIP Waterlust" and it provides recommendations from leading Rip Current scientists

[@CabhanListis]

At what point are you supposed to start swimming parallel to the shore?

[@darthnihilus4074]

Any point. Also, you don’t always swim parallel to the shore. It’s always perpendicular to the rip that you should swim.

[@SergeyLashchenka]

Пришлось однажды подныриванием добираться к берегу!Добрался с большим трудом!Теперь не рискую!

[@msmusik2]

That little man looked like he was being pulled out! D:

[@19bloo]

i wantto see a video of somone standing in a rip current

[@santatigerclaus]

thee is a way to survive a rip current ,being a strong swimmer isnt it- stay calm, calmly tred water , on your back if possible, till the rip lets go- and ride the ingoing waves in

[@saveouroceanlife1]

I'm not attempting to come across all arrogant. I spend hours, days and months studying the ocean, ocean floor, weather, currents, etc. If this video helps a person realize they need to be a strong swimmer or could be pulled out...great. I said, I pray that die isn't polluting or affecting the organisms & fish in the water. Which is my responsibility to be concerned the way people are dumping "crap" in our oceans. Please don't pollute! Thank you kindly. The fish thank you too. :)

[@saveouroceanlife1]

Yes, I am an enviromentalist. That's why I said, thanks for using non-toxic dye. I have more hours as a surfer, diver, advanced in oceanography, etc. My point was with do respect...it's the ocean! If you are not familiar or a strong swimmer, better be safe 1st. Stay out or wear a PFD and never swim alone. That's simple explaination.

[@averiemorgaine7619]

That why I knew before happen, I went swim on lake, I started check, my mom told me this not have rip currents, but I said I think we should leave because I see something moved, in one hour later, the news said woman died in rip currents in lake. That why you must check before go swim.

[@DiMenaF]

The human octopus

[@miahpwner]

@19bloo how can anybody body stand on water?? ahhh cris angel.. talk to him..he's our man..

[@moondu]

YOUR SUBS!!!

[@nckumem5383]

THis rip jet is due to the presence of the rock jetty, not a trough.

[@katiegogo1773]

What the hell is tracer dye? What does it show us?

[@pickle17cake]

I went to the beach the other day and swam where the birds were floating. It was calm and no huge waves. I didn't felt any current nor i was dragged.

[@13374A1]

Yeah but you're gay so

[@pickle17cake]

+13374A1 the last word of your comment says it all. Lol

[@feelteamsix3911]

+Likeamoose17 he has a point tho

[@johndouglas1294]

you could have been in one. A small one is hard to notice. Birds and ducks aren't as affected as much as we are since our bodies are mostly underwater.

[@avelinojunie78]

What is the purple dye like color in the water?

[@cxlur]

It's tracer dye that helps you see the rip current

[@ravishingelite]

whats that blue/purple stuff in the water? someone washing their dyed jeans? lol

[@charadreemur1477]

Did a squid squirt in there? God almighty

[@pizarovic]

อันตรายจริงๆ

[@ZoeTheCat]

I presume it's benign biodegradable dye. These things are meant to train the public and prevent deaths. This vid was not intended for awesomely superior people like yourself. I feel privileged just to be talking to you. Thanks

[@bruzote]

After this test, how many surfers went home asking, "Why are my b*lls tinted purple?"

[@adyaningpraja1364]

that looks safe

[@israelhughes1450]

why don't you go over there and find out

[@kaiyutie]

Israel Hughes boii

[@israelhughes1450]

give me likes for no apparent reason boi

[@j3in725]

Adyaning Praja lol

[@beejme9time]

1:30 Dude enters rip current. No fucks given

[@reamafox22]

tell us all about your days and months of extensive study...you mean you watched some youtube videos right?

[@waititisnt]

WTAF why the hell is it fricken purple!?!

[@keepsmilinglittlemax1244]

wait, it isnt 2004? It’s just dye to show where the rip current is

[@shqiperiany]

@19bloo me too hahahha

[@addinan]

what's the color violet on the water?

[@hydro8390]

It's a dye

[@mooeykay]

+Yo Mama so what is it?

[@littledoodle5689]

+Marie K Purple Dye

[@immajustsomaguya7148]

+Marie K purple drank

[@CountlessPWNZ]

Someone spilled their lean.

[@ahcecream]

what's considered illegal language?

[@volt103]

I started to vomat at 0:24.

[@mrwertasop]

dye

[@saveouroceanlife1]

Anyone who surfs or knows the ocean doesn't need a die pack. Hope that was biodegradable and fish friendly! Or please don't pollute our oceans. Thanks...,

[@saveouroceanlife1]

It's a little brain to figure waves flow back and forth, in and out. Keyword out! Thousands of pounds of water flowing around a 200 lb. body? Need I say more? Know how to swim before going in!!! Give a hoot DON'T POLLUTE!!! SAVE OUR OCEAN LIFE AND WWF. As in polor bears, gorilla's, tigers, rhinoceros, etc.

[@saveouroceanlife1]

As far as spamming, stop with all of the foul illegal language. Have an educated response. Kids see this stuff to learn. Lastly, please don't pollute our oceans & beaches. Unrelated to a non-toxic dye. Hence - saveouroceanlife. :) good conversation topic.

[@nicklassvensson411]

Wtf has he been eating!? lol

[@13374A1]

What

[@nicklassvensson411]

diarrhea

[@musimax1878]

Nicklas Svensson it's dye

[@RandomPerson-db7fj]

I didn't know the ocean could puke grape juice.....

[@silentwolve]

Apparently you just came across as unintelligent.

[@reamafox22]

'advanced in oceanography' (?) but never heard of tracer dye? Really, tell us more about your environmental studies. Watch out another middle aged woman learned how to use the interwebs

[@boobye6305]

Candidate for most boring video ever.

[@kaebol]

no it's not

[@boobye6305]

kimo eslam And your comment is candidate for most boring comment ever!.
