## Summary

The US Coast Guard has suspended its search for Senah Park, 24, who is believed to have been swept out to sea at Panther State Beach in Santa Cruz County. The incident highlights the danger of rapidly rising tides, as a group of friends was knocked over and several became trapped.

Authorities said the search began on Sunday night and covered 95 square miles over eight hours, using boats, helicopters, drones and ground teams.
