Two women died after a wave swept them into the ocean at a Santa Cruz County beach, authorities said Monday.

Leoannie Binas-Semana, 30, of San Francisco and her sister-in-law, Aylene Semana, 28, of Milpitas, were pulled into the water about 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Bonny Doon Beach, about 8 miles north of Santa Cruz, said sheriff's Sgt. Patrick Dimick.
