Three surfers have lost their lives in a rip current off Mawgan Porth Beach, near Newquay, Cornwall, in England. Two men and a woman, with ages between 42 and 52, were surfing in challenging conditions, with powerful three-to-six foot waves hitting the Cornish shores. “The waves were bigger, they were quite big. And it wasn’t the safest of days to be in the sea. But it wasn’t particularly dangerous. There were lots of safe places to be, and they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” explained the owner of a local surf school.
