Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA mother and her son from the Salinas area drowned at the Moss Landing State Beach on March 23. At the time of the incident, the Monterey offshore buoy reported 12.1 ft waves at an average period of 8.7 seconds, and a Small Craft Advisory was in effect for Monterey Bay. Dive teams noted that recent rainstorms and associated rainfall made for poor diving conditions and visibility.
