Current flowing away from the beach (8)

I believe the answer is:

undertow

(Other definitions for undertow that I've seen before include "Current below surface fo sea" , "Dangerous current" , "Wet round (anag.)" , "Ebbing current" , "Submarine movement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
