Body of man swept off Coffs Harbour breakwall found by his family
The body of a man who is believed to have been swept off a breakwall on the NSW Mid-North Coast has been found after a challenging two-day rescue operation.
The 20-year-old man was last seen walking on a breakwall at Coffs Harbour around 6:00pm on Thursday when a large wave struck.
Coffs-Clarence Police District Inspector Joanne Reid said family and friends spotted his body amongst rocks at the south end of the breakwall at around 9:30am today.
An extensive rescue team had been searching a large area of the ocean since Thursday night but their efforts had been hampered by big seas and difficult weather conditions.
More to come.
