Rip currents are typically more complex than this however, we can simplify some of the science.
Generally, Rip Currents have 3 parts: Feeders, Neck and Head
Feeder currents are the first attempt by the water to return to the lake.
The Neck is the area where the outflow of water is usually the strongest part of a rip current.
The Head of a rip current is the area when the current dissipates in deeper water.
