In recent days there has been a series of terrible accidents in Australian media, as many young people go to the beach to swim and surf, but are dragged alive into the deep sea by a strange force.
Over the weekend, temperatures in some parts of Australia soared to more than 30 degrees, and many people went to the seaside.
But the tragedy happened.
A young man was swimming along the coast with a friend. Before long, everyone was ready to go back to the shore to rest, but he was the only one, fluttering to the depths of good work. Everyone thought he didn't want to go ashore because he didn't want to go ashore, so he didn't care too much.
After a long time, friends only found out: people are missing!
One of the friends felt the situation was not right, ready to jump into the sea to find someone, but was stopped by the lifeguard on the shore!
What are you doing?
You're looking for death!
Don't you see the offshore current?!
After listening to his worries, the lifeguard, along with some of his colleagues, jumped into the sea and swam into the deep sea with a detour. They found the man hundreds of metres offshore, but it was too late, he had drowned.
The strong and strong man who is very good at swimming.
Must have been killed by an offshore exile!
It's already the 230th victim of an offshore current in Australia this year! So lifeguards warn all swimmers!
The onshore current is terrible! Stay away!
This huge terrorist force is the offshore current.
80% of Australians don't know it exists, but it's the number one killer on the beach!
however! There will be more than 8000 accidents a year on the coast of Australia because of offshore currents!
What is an off-shore current?
After a long time, many people do not know what offshore flow is.
Off-shore current is called (RIP Current). We all know that when the waves hit the shore again, they return to the sea. Sometimes, however, these waves, ready to return to the sea, are superimposed on layers for complex reasons such as terrain, weather, and so on, and form a huge stream of water.
The current goes straight to the depths of the sea, and if you accidentally slip into it, you will be thrown into the sea by them at all costs.
Unpredictable
Because there are many complicated factors in the formation of offshore flow, there is no way to predict and judge that any beach, any weather, may appear offshore current!
And the off-shore current is unpredictable, it appears today on this beach, tomorrow may have been translated a few kilometers away! So even experienced beach lifeguards have no way to warn you of the possibility of offshore currents.
Powerful
In the past year, many of those killed in offshore currents have been swimmers or surfers. Whether they are swimming or physical quality, they are stronger than the average person! But, in front of the shore current, they are too small!
From this we can see how powerful the offshore current is!
When one is involved in an offshore current, one will soon run out of strength and drown in the sea
be close at hand
Unlike many dangerous marine creatures, the shore current is the killer close to us!
Even if you just play on the shore, you may be taken away by the shore current!
Because a lot of offshore currents start to build up strength from the beach, and this force will keep pushing you deep into the sea! So if you play on the beach, you can be sucked in by accident!
Quietly
One of the scariest things about the offshore current is that it comes in silence! For the big wind and waves, we may also have a heart eye, but often there are offshore currents, will be abnormal calm, so that you do not have a bit of vigilance!
Take a look at the white arrow in the picture below, which is the shore flow!
Most people will think this sea water is safe!
But once you swim in there, it's bad!
The most important feature of offshore currents is calm and calm!
Generally speaking, the waves beat the beach are connected into a line, if you see in this wave, suddenly there is a special calm, then you have to be careful!
This is likely to be an offshore current! It will drag you fast into the deep sea! Stay away!
What if you encounter an off-shore current?
Whether you encounter an offshore current or not, you must know how to get a glimmer of life in the offshore current! This is the only way to save life in times of crisis!
Attention recognition
Whether or not there is a warning sign on the beach to watch out for the shore current, you must have one more heart! As mentioned earlier, if you see that kind of calm zone in the waves, be sure to stay away! That's the worst abyss!
Never look back.
If you are unfortunately involved in the offshore current, don't look back! Because human survival instinct will make you want to flutter back to shore!
Be careful, a lot of swimmers are killed because of it!
Because any force that prevents the current from returning to the deep sea will make the offshore current stronger! So, you're just going to go back and make the offshore currents that kill you get stronger and stronger, and you're going to run out of energy as a result!
So, swim on both sides!
The offshore current, though powerful, is of limited width. That is to say, the shore current is a narrow one, as long as you swim to both sides, you can get out of this terrible current!
Or swim!
If you don't have the strength to swim on both sides, swim as hard as you can! Because the force of the offshore current will decline with the distance from the shore, the harder you try to swim into the deep sea, the easier it is to get rid of the offshore current!
Anyway, don't look back!
Summer is coming soon. For people living in Australia, it is one of the greatest pleasures to go to the beach to play with water and enjoy the world's most beautiful sunshine and sand beaches.
But, after all, the sea is a dangerous place, no one wants to be unfortunate! Therefore, we must warn ourselves and family and friends, be more careful!
