Near Drowning Sharp Park Beach 10-4-23

This was a very scary incident that occurred at Sharp Park Beach in Pacifica, CA. There were kids playing in the surf when a wave dragged one out. Several people tried to help and were also dragged down and out. Fortunately everyone made it out OK. Similar scenes play out on this beach every year and some don't end as well. There is a reason there are signs at the entrance of the beach which say "People have died swimming and wading here". Also, if you haven't noticed them, there are now rescue buoys attached at intervals along the railing.
Things can go from beautiful to terrifying in a shockingly short period of time.
This footage was pulled from the webcam on my roof and I cropped and zoomed the footage, so the quality isn't great but it's good enough to get an idea of what was happening.
Live few from the camera which recorded this footage: • MORI CAM MOVED - see d...

    @ChamberlinNature - Thank you for sharing. The news should pick this up to show people that Pacifica can be a very dangerous beach. You can see why there are so many drownings.

    Yes the most dangerous beach in the Bay. Very steep, the return wave can sweep you off your feet called UNDERTOW. This beach took my sister , myself and my little brother one after another in the late 70's we're lucky to be here today. Great channel to monitor weather and water conditions etc. F.Y.I. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY EVENT AS THIS THERE ARE EMERGENCY FLOATING DEVICE MOUNTED ON ( THE RAIL ) BOTH SIDES OF THE PIER.

    I grew up on pacifica beaches and one of my earliest memories is of getting sucked up by a wave and being tossed around for a few seconds. It's a powerless and scary feeling, that definitely taught me a life-long lesson.

    The water is so cold entering fall and winter, the initial dunk without a wet suit can cause shock and disorientation adding to the extreme harm of the rip.

    Wow, I was online that day with this channel on. I completely missed it. Glad everyone is ok. It was quiet splashy today. Lots of over the wall moments.

    Those waves were too rough to be playing in, but not everyone would know this unless they live here. Wish there was more educational signage that can change when we have surf advisories, like the roadside warning signs during 4th of July.

    did you read the description? There is a reason there are signs at the entrance of the beach which say "People have died swimming and wading here".

    Those kids aren’t ocean aware, they shouldn’t be playing on a steeply shelving beach with a shore break and strong swell, next to an outflow pipe

    I thought so. Maybe it's just SF that has a combined system tho, I just googled it. Even if it's just street run off, it would still be filled with oil and junk, dog waste, whatever, into a soup that's probably not great to swim in.
