Photographic evidence has recently surfaced in the various shark sightings that have taken place in the past week off the San Diego coast line. On Wednesday, August 31, a beachgoer at Swamis Beach in Encinitas photographed and sent to CBS8 what experts have confirmed to be a photo of a great white shark swimming among a pack of surfers. The photo depicts 8 surfers swimming out towards the waves with the tail end of the shark sticking out of a wave, just a few feet away from several unknowing surfers.
A two-mile stretch of beach was closed along the Casa Reef coastline was also closed on Wednesday after numerous sightings of a dorsal fin between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon near the La Jolla Children’s Pool where a large colony of seals have lived for years. A crew of fisherman discovered a dead baby seal just hours later off the waters of Ocean Beach. The seal had visible bite marks to it’s torso. The numerous shark sightings that have been emerging at the end of San Diego’s summer began last Thursday August 25, when an off duty lifeguard spotted a 12-inch dorsal fin in the waters off Mission Beach prompting it’s closure for two days.
All San Diego beaches are currently open and experiencing large swells this weekend with waves reaching ten to twelve feet in height.

That's one big fish. Check out the size of the tail compared to the surfers in the water.

Experts say the shark pictured was only 12ft long and 1000lbs.

Pretty crazy and glad no one was injured or killed.

I spent a year doing SAR in Iwakuni Japan. I can only imagine how many sharks were near us when we were out there in the middle of the Pacific.:cool:
