Marine Rescue NSW volunteers resume search for child swept into the ocean at The Entrance

Volunteer crews from Marine Rescue Terrigal and Norah Head have this morning resumed the multi-agency search for a child, believed to have swept into the sea at The Entrance early last night.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Steve Raymond said Marine Rescue NSW has two vessels on-water assisting the search today.

“Marine Rescue NSW vessels Terrigal 30 and Norah Head 20 resumed the search off The Entrance at 8am.

“Both Marine Rescue NSW vessels are conducting a parallel line search from The Entrance to Pelican Point under the direction of NSW Police Marine Area Command.

“Conditions are lumpy offshore with a 1.5 metre swell and winds gusting at just over 30 km/h,” Inspector Raymond said.

Marine Rescue NSW crews from Norah Head and Tuggerah Lakes spent two hours searching last night before being stood down for the evening.
