NECN just reported the victim was a 67 year old man from Belmont. T&P for the family.

The place in Magnolia that the incident happened is a pretty high cliff, flat-faced. Brace Cove is can be brutal as the waves sweep in at angles. Sad for the loss of life... Hopefully folks will get it and stay clear/safe this weekend.

yeah that magnolia spot can definitely get hairy even in decent conditions (well, for us that don't wear wetsuits at least)
