A group of five teenage boys were swimming at Ocean Beach, when two of them were swept out to sea by strong surf. Three of the teens were able to get out of the water on their own. The boys were in the water waist deep when they were swept away.
Firefighters were using jet skis and a rescue boat to search for the boys. The boys have not been found.
