The U.S. Coast Guard rescued two surfers in distress near Cannon Beach Monday. The two surfers became trapped in a small cove at the north end of Indian Beach at Ecola State Park, just north of Cannon Beach. Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue alerted the Coast Guard at approximately 1:35 p.m, then an already airborne MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew was diverted to the scene. The helicopter crew arrived at approximately 1:45 p.m. and located the surfers on a rocky outcropping on the north side of the cove. It lowered a rescue swimmer from a hover approximately 125 feet above the rock and successfully hoisted both surfers to safety.
