U.S. Coast Guard Joins Search Efforts
CDPR states that around 4:24 p.m. local time, the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter spotted what they thought was a body, but lost sight of it due to high surf.
At 7 p.m. local time, search efforts ceased due to lack of light and safety concerns for the first responders, and were set to resume this morning, Sunday.
The CDPR urges caution in these areas in Big Sur, as hazard signs warn breaking waves of 13 to 18 feet and says, “State Parks and allied agencies remind the public to stay off rocks and away from the water’s edge. Ocean waves are unpredictable and pose a safety hazard to the public.” This incident comes just one week after a father and daughter were carried away into the ocean by 15-to-20-foot waves at the same park and died.
