Rip tide & Rip current

Rip tide & Rip current
 
How would you say "rip current" and "rip tide" in Spanish?

According to Babylon (www.babylon.com), rip current is 'corriente revuelta' and rip tide is 'aguas turbulentas' or 'aguas revueltas'. Hope this helps.

I did a bit of looking, and also found corriente de resaca, but I'm not sure if that's right. I think Rusty's options are better, in the absence of a native speaker's opinion. :)

Also I think riptide can be one word too.

rip current: "corriente de resaca" or "corriente de retorno" or simply "resaca"
riptide: "corriente revuelta" or "aguas turbulentas"

But I'm not an expert.
saludos :D
