First responders saved two surfers by bringing them up the cliff face on the south end of Devil's Slide on Sunday afternoon. Photo courtesy Cal Fire.
Two surfers were rescued by firefighters on Sunday after they were caught between waves and rocks north of Montara State Beach and 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 Montara State 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. Both surfers were not 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.
