Abstract
Current pulsations from a longshore bar and trough rip system located on the eastern coast of Moreton Island, Australia are presented. These pulsations occur over 10-20minute intervals through the rip system and are correlated to both water level gradients and wave energy variations. The field measurements suggest that rip current pulsations can be driven by fluctuating mass transport over the shore parallel inner bar.
