Video and print story at WECT TV, Wilmington. Star News story with slide show. NC Sea Grant press release. It has a link to a pdf on Exploring Rip Currents. A bit of that pdf (my emphasis): "Most rip current research has been conducted on large-wave beaches with natural features that produce fast, fixed rip currents that can be studied almost any day.
The most dangerous rip currents on any particular North Carolina beach typically occur only 5 to 10 swimming days each year and are difficult to predict days in advance." BTW, Rob Brander would still like to get Americans to respond to his rip current survivor survey, which is linked at the Melbourne (Fla.) National Weather Service, and here.
