The search for a swimmer missing at Piha Beach since Sunday will resume at first light this morning, police say.
Emergency services were called after the 37-year-old was seen in difficulty at the notorious west coast beach around 5.20pm.
Rescuers will be searching both in the water and along the coastline this morning.
Auckland Police Maritime Unit is coordinating the search, also involving the police Eagle helicopter, Coastguard and Surf Lifesaving New Zealand. An earlier release saying the police vessel Deodar was involved in the search was incorrect.
