RNLI Warning After Teen Surfer Rescued at Cayton Bay

Scarborough RNLI’s inshore lifeboat was called out on Friday when a teenage girl got into difficulties.

The 13-year-old was on a surfboard in Cayton Bay and being swept out to sea.

The lifeboat launched at about 3.15pm but before it could reach the girl, she was rescued by two surfers who took her back to shore.

The lifeboat crew offered medical assistance but it wasn’t required.

Scarborough RNLI’s community safety officer Dave Grieves offered the following advice for similar situations:

"Always check the wind and tide. Try to go with a group, particularly youngsters. Stay within your capabilities and if in doubt don’t go.”
