People at the beach at Riis Park on a hot = summer day.=20 Six swimmers have drowned in the Rockaways this year.

= Warga/News=20

View of the Rockaway Inlet and the Atlantic = Beach=20 Bridge in The Rockaways.

Powerful waves. A shifting sand bar. = Deadly rip=20 currents.

The Rockaways have them all - making its waters the most treacherous = in the=20 city, experts say.

"It's completely open to the Atlantic = Ocean, and=20 it has very strong rip currents," said veteran lifeguard Janet Fash, = 49, who has=20 worked the Rockaways for some 30 years. "It's the type of area where = nonswimmers=20 and swimmers alike get in trouble."

The notorious Queens beach, stretching from Breezy= =20 Point to the East Rockaway = Inlet, has=20 claimed the lives of six swimmers this summer.

As the latest drowning victim was mourned yesterday, experts revealed = what=20 makes the Rockaways the city's deadliest beach.

The reasons are many.

Unlike at popular Coney Island = - or at=20 any other city beach - there's nothing separating the Rockaways from the = open=20 sea. That makes it more susceptible to crushing waves, which regularly = pound the=20 sand bar that extends along the shore roughly 300 yards from the beach. =

"In certain weather conditions, particularly with a lot of south = wind, the=20 waves can create an opening in the bar," said Kevin = Jeffrey, the=20 Parks Department's deputy commissioner of public programs.

"When that happens, it's like turning over a 5-gallon water cooler = bottle and=20 ripping the lid open - all the water comes rushing out.

"If you're there at that location, when that breach occurs, you get = sucked=20 out."

The deadly currents - known as riptides - are also caused by a glut = of=20 jetties and groins, underwater structures that protect the coast.

After an especially strong wave pounds the shoreline, a stream of = water=20 rushes parallel to the beach as it searches for a route back out. The=20 swift-moving current rips out to sea when it reaches a channel - often = caused by=20 another break in the sand bar - or hits a jetty or groin.

"These riptides appear and disappear across the beach," said Henry=20 Bokuniewicz, professor of oceanography at the Stony=20 Brook School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences on Long Island. =

"It's almost impossible to predict where they're going to form."

Experts say another reason so many people die at the Rockaways has = nothing to=20 do with geography.

With easy access near a subway line, the Rockaways draw sunseekers = from=20 across the city - some of whom are not strong swimmers and still venture = into=20 the water when lifeguards are not around.

Large red signs appear along the beach at every block, warning = swimmers in=20 English and Spanish of the dangers of "strong currents and sudden = dropoffs."=20

Lifeguards watch the waters from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer. =

Jose-Luis=20 Olivares, 36, drowned in the waters off Jacob Riis = Park on=20 Friday after he pulled his 8-year-old daughter out of the surf and then = went=20 back to rescue his wife.

"He knows he died doing a good thing," Olivares' sister-in-law Guillermin= a=20 Arreola said yesterday at a private vigil inside Grace Funeral = Chapels in Brooklyn.=20 "He's a hero."

Olivares' wife, Elfega (Elvia) Arreola, appeared overcome with grief, = sobbing=20 as she stood before her husband's gray coffin.

Frustrated Rockaway residents said more needs to be done to stop = drownings.=20

"Something is either happening in the water or to our common sense," = said City Councilman = James=20 Sanders, who held a community "brainstorming" session this week. = "Everyone=20 needs to take these waters seriously."

Sanders suggested a local beach watch could hand out information to = swimmers=20 who may be unaware of the lurking danger.

"Kids think it's just a big bathtub," said Queens resident Denean = Ferguson.=20

Some residents said the warning signs may not be that effective. "Not = everyone enters the beach at those places," said Jackie = Bascon, a=20 37-year resident of Rockaway.

Olivares' nephew Jamie = Mendoza said=20 the family was still shocked the Rockaways swallowed his uncle, who was = an=20 experienced swimmer.

"My uncle was a very good swimmer," Mendoza, 34, said. "Those waters = had to=20 be more treacherous than usual to overpower him."
