A high surf advisory was in effect for San Diego through Tuesday and lifeguards suggest swimmers and surfers use caution before getting into the water.
The high surf and tide prompted several rescues along San Diego County's beaches Sunday.
Around 2 p.m., a Good Samaritan in a nearby boat rescued two men who almost drowned near Bonita Cove in Mission Bay. The two men were in the water when they began to have trouble staying up, according to San Diego Lifeguards. The Good Samaritan spotted them and pushed over an inflatable boat towards the men. They were taken to UCSD Medical Center.
Hours earlier, around 9 a.m., San Diego lifeguards successfully rescued a surfer who was trapped in a cove at Sunset Cliffs due to the large surf. There were no injuries reported.
San Diego Lifeguards wanted to remind the public to only get in the water in areas with lifeguard supervision. As of now, Mission Bay, Sunset Cliffs, Windandsea are not supervised by lifeguards. They also advised parents to teach their young kids how to swim early on.
