Everything you need
for a safer beach day.
Six tools working together to give you the clearest picture of conditions before you get in the water.
AI Rip Detection
Advanced computer vision analyses live beach footage to identify dangerous rip currents and highlight risk zones in real-time.
Live Beach Cams
Watch live streams from beaches across Sydney. See real conditions before you leave home, not yesterday's forecast.
Safety Score
A clear, colour-coded safety rating combining AI analysis, weather, patrol status, and hazard reports into one glanceable score.
Live Conditions
Water temperature, wind speed, swell height, and air temperature, updated in real-time for every monitored beach.
Patrol Status
Instantly see which beaches are actively patrolled by surf lifesavers. Know where the flags are before you arrive.
Hazard Alerts
Receive alerts for shark sightings, dangerous conditions, and safety warnings. Stay informed with real-time hazard reporting.
Real beaches. Real data. Real-time.
A miniature, live view of the coast. Hover any beach to see current conditions.

Finally, a beach app that actually tells me what I need to know before I leave the house.
As a dad of three, the safety score is a game-changer. I know exactly which beach is family-friendly today.
The rip detection feature is genuinely impressive. I'm a surfer and it's spotted currents I would have missed.
Clean interface, accurate info, no BS. Exactly what beach apps should be.
Checking RipCo is part of our Saturday ritual now. We don't bother driving out unless the score is green.

Built for trust, not false certainty.
RipCo is designed to help you make better-informed decisions at the beach. It combines AI analysis with real-time weather, patrol information, and community reports to give you a clearer picture of current conditions.
But no technology is perfect. RipCo is an informational tool, it does not replace lifeguards, official warnings, or your own judgment. Always swim between the red and yellow flags, and if in doubt, don't go out.
When our AI confidence is low, we tell you. When a camera feed is unavailable, we tell you. Honesty is our product.
