Chris Lowe, director of the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab spoke with in San Diego about a white shark that "bumped" a surfer off Torrey Pines State Beach resulting in lifeguards closing beaches. Lowe said it's not unusual to see white sharks especially as the water warms during the summer. But Lowe said swimmers have little to fear from the juvenile white sharks that frequent the area.
