Due to high surf, lifeguards could not use a boat and were forced to swim to save the couple. With the help of Engine 22, the two were pulled from the water in the cove area at Pappy’s Point, near one of the parking lots on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. They were transported to UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest with minor
injuries.
They told lifeguards they were left to swim to shore after being brought to the area on a personal water craft from Mexico. No other information was released.
