The sea rescue craft Spirit of Round Table was launched while NSRI rescue swimmers, the SA Police Services, Police Search and Rescue and Medi Response responded.
On arrival; on the scene a search commenced for a 26 year old local man who had gone missing in the surf line.
Despite an extensive sea and shoreline search no signs of the missing man were found.

Thoughts and support are with the family of the missing man in this difficult time.
