Lifeguards were dispatched to aid two men in their 20s who had jumped into the breakers at Sunset Cliffs and gotten caught up in the churning waters, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
The personnel pulled one of the men from the surf, SDFRD spokeswoman Monica Munoz said. The other man had to be hauled off a steep bluff he had managed to reach.
“Because of high surf, lifeguards and firefighters performed a cliff rescue to get (him),” Munoz said. “Fortunately, there were no injuries that required hospitalization.”
A Nevada man who ventured into the roiling ocean at the mouth of the San Diego River was not so fortunate, dying after lifeguards pulled him from the water.
