UNSW and Surf Life Saving Australia have developed RipEye, an AI-powered mobile tool that can help identify rip currents from a photo of a beach. Rip currents remain one of Australia's deadliest beach hazards, contributing to 47% of the 66 beach drowning deaths recorded in the 2026 National Drowning Report. Most people know rip currents can be dangerous. The harder part is knowing how to spot one.
