Deltares hosts a mobile phone application that displays forecasts of sea currents and beach widths around the Sand Motor (Delfland Coast, the Netherlands). The information is consulted by the lifeguards responsible for monitoring bather safety at the Sand Motor. It allows them to anticipate
potentially dangerous situations on the beach and in the shallow waters such as rip currents. Precautionary measures can be taken to reduce the risks for visitors to the beach.
