One person died Friday afternoon in the surf off the Ocean Dunes.

Shortly before 3 p.m., a 9-1-1 caller reported a male caught in a rip tide. San Luis Obispo County firefighters then responded to the Oceano Dunes for a surf rescue.

Responders pulled the victim from the water and immediately started CPR. The victim, however, was pronounced dead at the scene.

CalCoastNews will provide additional information after it is available.

Since I wasn’t informed by a NEWS article, I forgot to ask, was this one wearing jeans and a t-shirt when dragged from the water?


FYI. Rip tides are only in a small area of water 20-50 feet wide. But can stretch 100 yards from the shore to past the waves. When people gets caught they react to swim to shore when the tide pulls them out. Long struggle.

If you are ever caught in a rip tide-swim parallel to the shore. You will swim out of it quickly in to calmer water.

Google what a riptide looks like. Once you know what it looks like they will be easy to avoid.


Was it atownrebel ?


Stay classy….


Miracles are few and far between. You are asking the impossible from the Marxist hive.


You wish. I swim like a fish AND shoot like a sniper.


Enjoy your no brains day tomorrow.


WE THE PEOPLE, in the current vast majority, will be laughing coast to coast at you anti-American know nothings that are funded by foreign based commie agitators.


DemoNcrats are tools with ZERO self-awareness on the matter.

your web feet help you swim better.


One can dream. I don’t picture him being able to walk down to the water line without keeling over, though.


All you low-IQ types can do is feel and dream.


#EndTheDemoNcratPARTY

WE THE PEOPLE, in the current vast majority, are doing this in real time.


Feeding the resident MAGA troll is probably wheelspin. Just sayin’.


Yea, you’re right drnsnsr.
