The Orange County Sheriff’s Department confirmed it assisted in the search for the swimmer after the initial call came in around 8 p.m. Tuesday. Laguna Beach police said Wednesday morning that the individual was still missing.<\/p>\n

Video posted to social media shows the search underway near Treasure Island Beach, with first responders and boats in the water and helicopters circling overhead.<\/p>\n

Details about the person who went missing in the water were not available.<\/p>\n

Many of the region’s south-facing beaches are expected to have 5-to 8-foot waves, with high sets on tap at spots like Newport Beach’s The Wedge, the world-famous surf break located at the southernmost tip of the Balboa Peninsula.<\/p>\n
