Authorities say a 5-year-old girl is recovered after being swept into the ocean during dangerous surf conditions at Treasure Island Beach in Laguna Beach, California. The incident occurs around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, when the girl is near the shore with her mother and a sibling. A large wave pulls the family into the water, prompting an immediate response and a search that later shifts from rescue efforts to recovery. By Wednesday, officials confirm the search has ended for the girl. Multiple reports describe ongoing hazardous conditions at the beach around the time of the incident and note that forecasts call for additional dangerous swells in the days following. The reports also characterize the overall situation as part of wider concerns about strong surf and beach safety along the California coast.
