BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
A recent LSU graduate died over the weekend in San Diego after a large wave swept her and a second woman into the sea.
Officials confirm that Adriana Toro, 23, died in the hospital Saturday after she was rescued from the water.
According to our sister station CBS 8, Toro was walking on the beach with the unidentified second woman. The water was 58 degrees when they were knocked off the rocks and tossed into the water.
"They were like right in front of us, they were like right there and then all of a sudden, they were gone,” said witness Janice Ambrosiani. "It's not like they were way down in an area where they shouldn't be, we were right on the wall there on the sidewalk."
A lifeguard saved the unidentified woman from the water. It took roughly 40 minutes for rescue crews to remove Toro from the water.
Toro was transported to the UCSD Medical Center where she died Saturday night, according to San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Capt. Joe Amador.

So were they on the beach, rocks, a sidewalk, or a wall?

Like, it's hard to say, because, you know, they like mentioned both the rocks and the beach!

Not sure about San Diego, but the Pacific a little further south in Cabo, can be a bad Son of a Bitch!
Only time I've seen the Pacific Ocean and couldn't even get my feet wet. It was a calm sunny day. I paddled a kayak across the Sea of Cortez, drug my kayak up on the beach and took a trail up over a few dunes, and on the other side was 20ft waves crashing down on the beach with a fury. I was so pissed!
Sea of Cortez is almost as beautiful so I just settled for that.

Not really. We can assume its a sidewalk with a wall that drops off into the edge of the ocean with some rocks on the shore

I hope their backs weren't to the waves.
Sad story.

I get your point, but this one needs to be there. Well, with how the rest of the sentence is structured anyway.

it happens so often on the rocks at Ocean Beach in SF that I stopped saving the clippings a decade ago.
Father son teams of fisher people. Old ladies and their dog. Kids.
We just had a big storm. the waves were 28 feet a couple days ago. when you have 28 feet waves, you get some REALLY big ones randomly.

I'd bet they were at La Jolla cove. Climb over the sea wall and onto the rocks. The waves can get pretty gnarly there

Hard for the sea to get to the landwhales.
