NEWPORT (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard has ended its search for a 23-year-old man reportedly swept from the south jetty at Newport.

Petty Officer Shawn Eggert said the search was suspended late Sunday afternoon. The missing man’s name has not been released.

Eggert said a Coast Guard lifeboat was escorting a boat into Newport harbor at 10:42 a.m, when the crew spotted a man waving for them.

The man said he and a friend had just been knocked into the water by a wave. He said the waves pushed him to shore, but his friend was swept away.

The lifeboat crew members started the search, and were later joined by a Coast Guard helicopter, the Newport Fire Department and the Oregon State Police.

Eggert said searchers discovered a white hoodie matching the description of one worn by the missing man but saw no other sign of him.
