Ocean Shores Police personnel rescued two people from the surf near the North Jetty on Thursday afternoon.

Photos of the rescue taken by local resident Skip Radcliffe ran in Saturday’s Daily World. Information from Ocean Shores Police detailing the rescue was not available before Saturday’s issue printed.

Reports of a capsized kayak came in at 12:45 p.m. Officers arrived to the location within five minutes, according to Sgt. David McManus, and found two men trying to get to their feet in the surf.

“The men were wearing floatation devices, but were unable to get to their feet in the rolling surf,” said McManus. “The officers waded into the water to reach the men. Officer Elia assisted one man to the shore, while Officer Iversen waded deeper into the water to get the other man to his feet and back to the beach.”

The men, a 28-year-old from University Place and a 21-year-old from Las Vegas, were checked by paramedics and released at the scene.
