Thinking like a lifeguard, sentence 0

Waves push water up onto the beach all the time, and that water has to flow back out to sea somewhere; it gathers and rushes back through a narrow gap, often a dip between sandbanks, and that fast outward stream is a rip, so the waves come in while the rip goes out.

Who acts: Waves, water, fast outward stream, rip · What happens: push up, have, flow, gather, rush back, be · To what, where: water, beach, narrow gap, rip
