Marine and police rescue workers spent hours yesterday searching land and sea to find 17-year-old Jacob Partridge.
The teenager was last seen by friends at Emerald Beach, about 20km north of Coffs Harbour, on Friday, December 6.
He is described as having Caucasian appearance and is about 175cm tall with a medium build and long brown hair.
Partridge often spends time in the Emerald Beach area and his disappearance is considered out of character.
Police and family hold concerns for his welfare and the search will continue to include the water.
Rescue workers battled high winds and choppy conditions to look for Emerald after he was reported missing yesterday.
