Two surfers were rescued by firefighters on Sunday after they were caught between waves and rocks north of Montara State Beach. The two were eventually pulled up the cliff of Devil’s Slide.
First responders were dispatched shortly before 1 p.m. to reports of two surfers who had been swept past the north end of the beach. They were spotted at the bottom of the cliff in a small cove.
Firefighters then used ropes to rappel down the cliffs to bring the surfers up to the road. Neither surfer was injured, according to Cal Fire. Personnel from the Coastside Fire Protection District, San Mateo County Fire Department, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, San Mateo County Harbor District and the U.S. Coast Guard responded.
