Police will comb land throughout the night in the search for a surfer missing from a Gold Coast Beach.

A fisherman called police on Thursday morning, saying a surfer hadn't resurfaced after going under a wave at The Spit.

An air, sea and land search has failed to uncover any sign of the man.

However, a vehicle found in a nearby car park belongs to a 34-year-old who cannot be located.

Police say they're working with family and friends to establish the man's movements.
