A 24-year-old woman named Senah Park was last seen near Panther State Beach in Santa Cruz County on Sunday evening, during a period of unusually high tides and water levels. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office reported that Park was with a group of friends when an incoming tide knocked them into the ocean. Park was not able to escape the rising tide and was swept out to sea.
An extensive search for Park involved drones, ground crews, helicopters, and rescue teams, but the US Coast Guard has now suspended its search efforts. Lt. Max Holloway of the Coast Guard's San Francisco Sector stated that they have exhausted all available resources and have suspended active search efforts pending further developments.
The National Weather Service has warned of dangerous surf conditions expected this weekend, with waves up to 30 feet, and advised beachgoers to stay away from beaches and the water.
