A shark knocked a surfer off their board on Sunday night in San Clemente, prompting ocean access closures.
Water access at all San Clemente beaches was closed Monday due to 'aggressive shark behavior,' according to city officials. The Memorial Day edict came after a shark knocked a surfer off their board Sunday evening. The ocean will remain closed until 8 p.m. Monday night, pending no additional shark sightings, according to the city. Beaches in the Orange County city are still open, but visitors will not be able to wade into the waves or swim.
'The surfer and one other surfer were sitting on their boards waiting for a wave when they saw a dark gray object approach and knock one of the surfers off their surfboard,' Staudenbaur said. The surfers then came to the shore and reported the incident, at which point officials made the decision to close water access for 24 hours.
