After a couple of hours of surfing I walked out and I was just about to jetty jump when a lady trying to fill up a bucket with water got pounded by a big wave (surf was big for the area 4feet with occasional overheads.) The wave picked her up and started sweeping her out. I saw it coming and yelled at her to look up but she didnt. I had already jumped off the walking path down onto the rocks and started going for her and was able to grab her pretty quick. The wave went out and she landed on her hands and knees on the rocks. Another big wave hit but I had her by the arm and with the two of us together we got pushed around but didnt get picked up and carried out but we were that close to the edge. Once that wave went out I was able to get her up to her feet and moving up the rocks although we were both slipping because the rocks are slick below the water line. Her daughter had seen the whole thing and had been screaming and finally alerted her husband. He was able to grab her other arm and pull her back up to the foot path. It was pretty intense.
