The search continues for missing teenager Jaden Chhayrann nearly a week after he was swept out to sea on a school trip at Waihī Beach.
The boy was reportedly caught in a rip on Friday, with police advised at about 12.40pm that he had gotten into trouble near the Top 10 Holiday Park on Beach Rd.
The 17-year-old had been part of a group swimming in the area.
Police confirmed that the search would continue today with shoreline and coastline searches along Waihī Beach.
