Just when one thinks you have posted all the info in your head, you come up with this brilliant post.

 (clap) (clap)

Now I am saving for a plane so I can get an arial view of the stretch of beach I am going to fish on. LOL
Maybe I should just ask Angler1 for a fly-by when he is in the air.

Ok here we go...

Sandbank at the back. Shallow trough either side, with white water running over it. Distinct 'Hole' with deeper water in it, with a channel leading out to sea.

2nd diagram is how the hole works... (Not my pic, can't remember where I got it from?)

Would this be a example of a rip current?
Please see centre of the short video taken from Robberg at Plett
The "tongue" of white foam is clearly moving out to sea?

Yep PH. Dead right. If you look closely, you can see other rips along the Coastline, but not as strong as the middle one.
