As put by Senior Sergeant Mark Kirkwood, West Coast Search and Rescue:
The search for a person reportedly swept out to sea in Greymouth is set to continue today.
Search efforts yesterday included aerial searches of the shoreline between Charleston and Ross, and were hampered by rough sea conditions.
At this stage, the person is yet to be located.
Enquiries to identify the person, and whether the kayak is linked to them, remain ongoing.
A rāhui is in place along the coastline, between Charleston and Ross until further notice.
