A Singaporean has been missing in Australia since Monday after he was swept away while taking photos of waves along the shore.
Mr Goh Heng Yi, 23, who is studying for a Master of Economics at the University of Western Australia, was last seen on a rock at the Injidup Natural Spa, near Yallingup, Western Australia.
Australian media reported that he was with five other international students at the time.
After the first wave hit, Mr Goh was able to scramble up a nearby rock but was hit by a second large wave and vanished, reported ABC News.
Search operations began on Monday evening but have been suspended multiple times due to the hazardous conditions.
The south-west coastline is known for its treacherous waves, and the surf was described by the Australian police as being around 6m high when Mr Goh was swept away.
Sergeant Jane Gillham of the Dunsborough Police Station told The New Paper that around 40 personnel and volunteers are involved in the search, which had to be suspended as night fell yesterday.
The search is expected to continue today using police drones.
