A swimmer was swept out to sea during Storm Austen after entering the water at Langland Bay in difficult conditions. Local surfer Chris French and off-duty RNLI lifeguard Ryder Taylor used rescue boards to reach the man and bring him safely back to shore. The incident serves as a reminder to check weather and tide conditions before visiting the coast, as there are currently no active lifeguard patrols in the area.
