The search for a man feared drowned off Sydney's Bondi Beach will continue into a third day after authorities failed to uncover any sign of him.
The 22-year-old man was one of two Japanese nationals who got into trouble after going for a swim in rough conditions about 5.30pm (AEDT) on Monday.
Lifeguards pulled one of the men to safety, but the second man failed to resurface after being hit by a large wave.
A water and air search for the man continued on Tuesday but strong swells made it too dangerous for divers to become involved, a police spokesman told AAP.
The search was again wound down on Tuesday evening due to fading light.
