A significant number of rescues took place at a Santa Cruz beach due to large waves. The rough surf was fueled by a hurricane, resulting in 34 rescues. Among those rescued was a young boy, saved by a teenage lifeguard.

The lifeguard, who is 16 years old, helped a 10-year-old boy in distress. Further details about the rescues and the conditions at the beach are available from local news sources, including SFGate.
