A major search has resumed this morning for a woman believed to have been swept off rocks at Currumbin Beach.
Police received reports that a woman had been knocked into the water near Elephant Rock around 9.30pm last night.
But officers say the man who raised the alarm was “not present” when police arrived and no information was provided as to the woman’s identity.
“It is not known if the man knew the woman and it is believed she had been fishing at the time of the report,” Acting Superintendent Scott Knowles said.
Police are now appealing to the man who reported the woman missing to immediately contact them to provide further information.
“It is crucial that this man contact us,” Acting Superintendent Knowles said.
“We need to know first-hand what he saw.
“We have an idea who he may be and have made some enquiries and have not been able to locate him, but it would assist greatly if he got in contact with police”.
Search efforts involving Water Police and shore line searches have gotten underway this morning, but are expected to be hampered as surf and weather conditions remain rough and overcast.
“Local police have not received any missing person reports in relation to a woman missing overnight,” police said.
Anyone with any information which could assist with this search is asked to immediately contact police.
