Beach was closed for 24 hours following shark sighting

The 24-hour closure started after the surfer came out of the water and told lifeguards about the incident. There were no reports of any injuries to the surfer, who was identified as 25-year-old Evan Garcia.

As of Monday evening, there had not been a second shark sighting. Although the water was closed, the sand and beach area remained open to the public.

The water at the beach has since reopened, although an "enter at your own risk" advisory was in place through 8 p.m. Tuesday.
