The entry is "Rip Tide" (two words) but everything else in the article uses "riptide" (one word). 60.248.6.24 (talk) 07:31, 28 November 2019 (UTC)BryanReply

Suggest removing the section titled "Surviving rip tides" as that paragraph describes surviving a rip current, not a rip tide, and cites to a NOAA article called "Rip Current Survival Guide." 198.189.64.254 (talk) 23:52, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Agree with the removal suggestion, and further recommend a rewrite or re-organization of this entire article, as it is riddled with inconsistencies mostly derived from the erroneous conflation with rip currents. For example, the current picture likely depicts a rip current, not a rip tide (rip currents occur just off the beach, as shown, while rip tides occur at constricted inlets), despite what the caption says.

Perhaps would be best to simply remove this entire article, to be replaced with a subsection on the page for rip currents explaining the somewhat confusing nomenclature. Something along the lines of the article found here currently as reference #2 (https://doi.org/10.2112%2Fjcoastres-d-12-00052.1). 98.47.51.117 (talk) 00:06, 18 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
