Great White spotted in south San Diego yesterday.

Is there a certain period to avoid the water after a shark is spotted?
What do you usually do when there is a great white shark in your surfing spot?

Go surfing
There was a great white spotted (in Carlsbad) less then a mile or two away from where I usually surf a few months ago and I still went out. I was a bit more cautious, but it didn't really bother me. If it's my time to go, it's my time to go

That's one way to look at it
...I was at Carlsbad a few months ago, didn't even know about that one.
i wonder if this works on sharks too:

You surfing IB in the winter? I usually avoid it due to run off. How has it been?

Not IB, PB/La jolla is the furthest South I go.....but I figure a great white shark can get up and down the cost pretty fast, especially if there is a reason to, like surfers, I mean food.
However, this winter I have only been to Oceanside and the waves were small, 2-3 ft (in December).
