The search is continuing at a northern Sydney beach for a UK tourist who hasn't been seen since he went for a swim on Saturday night.
The 31-year-old had been celebrating with friends at South Curl Curl beach on his last day before he was due to fly out.
Police believe he is from Manchester, England, and had only been in the country for a week.
His friends say they lost sight of him when he was about 100m from shore and raised the alarm about 7pm on Saturday, telling police he wasn't a strong swimmer.
They waited in the surf club overnight as local police, Polair, Water Police, Surf Rescue NSW and the Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter searched for the man but found no sign of him.
North and South Curl Curl beaches were closed as police divers joined the operation in choppy seas on Sunday, along with searchers on two jet skis, in three rubber duckies and the police launch.
Police say it's possible the missing man made it out of the surf and officers are searching the streets.
