PHOTO Great White Shark Leaps Out Of Water Near Surfer At San Onofre Beach

A photographer has captured a ‘Sharknado’ moment as great white shark leaps into air at San Onofre.

The Orange County Register says photographer Jordan Anast captured a surreal moment of a shark jumping out of the water just behind surfer Tyler Warren during the San Onofre Surf Club contest on October 22nd.

San Onofre State Beach is a known juvenile great white shark breeding ground.

It’s also not the first time a shark has jumped out of the water during a surf contest.

In 2019, a shark breach happened during the USA Surf Contest at Lower Trestles just north of San Onofre beach, and in 2021, the WSL Finals was put on pause when a shark leaped into the sky near the surfers.

The beach is also just next to where swimmer Leeanne Ericson was bit by a shark in 2017.
