A lone man in a wetsuit washed up at Montara Beach near where Martini Creek empties into the ocean, the apparent victim of today’s storm-driven surf. No surfboard has been found.
According to Lt. Steve Shiveley of the Sheriff’s Department Moss Beach Substation, they received a call about 2:45 this afternoon. The Fire Department attempted to resuscitate the man on the beach without success.
UPDATE: The body has been identified as Scott Tomkins, 31, of San Francisco. He told his roommate he had been out swimming or body surfing on Sunday and planned to go back out Monday.
