I dont think they were unheard of along the California coast. Correct me if im wrong,There have always been reports of them off the coast of San Fransisco. I know they tend to have precise routes that they take during certain times of the year..Some go from Northern California to Mexico and some as far as Hawaii and back but the ones that traveled to Mexico tended to stay in deeper waters. Maybe the fishing industy is pushing them closer to shore to make there journey. Im no sharkspert just remember reading/hearing somthing along those lines.
I agree, shark attacks were almost unheard of along the Southern California coast until recently. The only shark attacks that happened, were North, where the water was colder. Surfed San Diego for years, and there were only two times that I remember a great white sighting. They did make us get out of the water, but no one was ever bitten, or killed.

Nothing will make you forget about 2012 quicker than someone yelling "Shark".

I find it ironic to hear people talk about their fear of sharks while they are driving 80mph in bumper to bumper freeway traffic in S. Cal.
You are a thousand times more likely to be killed by a teen talkin on their cell or a drunk in a car, than swimming in the Pacific.edit on 3-9-2011 by whaaa because: (no reason given)

I wonder how many people will end up being eaten before others learn to stay out of the water.
