SAN ONOFRE State lifeguards closed San Onofre State Beach to surfers after three or four sharks -- some as long as eighteen feet -- swam as close as 100 yards to shore today. Video--Shark Sightings "It's better to have the area closed to surfers so no one is in danger," Ranger Hal Dairywimple said in a broadcast report. Dairywimple said officials will decide tonight whether to reopen the area tomorrow. "Our main concern is public safety," Dairywimple said. Authorities have determined the species of shark sighted off the coast were Great Whites and there were concerns the animals may be potentially dangerous. Lifeguards in a boat who motored out to where the sharks swam today expressed concern that one shark did not appear to be alarmed by the approach of the humans. Dairywimple said sharks frequently will swim away when a boat approaches. "This one wasn't bothered by the boat," said Dairywimple. "In fact, he swam up to the boat to investigate it."
Editors note: The video mistakenly identified the area as Pacific Palisades. In fact, the video was shot at San Onofre Surf Beach near "Old mans". We apologize for the mistake.

Hey! Anoymyass, You don't speak or spell to good! You better go to Talega Surf&Sport and a set of "Hooked on Phonix" books and do some home work! If you took your brain and shoved it up a nats ass, it would look like a BB in a box-car!!!
