A teenager is being searched for after going missing in the waters off the coast of South Australia.

Early this morning, a search operation will commence in the waters near Victor Harbor, located in South Australia. This comes after reports that a 17-year-old boy was swept into the sea from Granite Island. According to one witness, the boy was with his family when he somehow ended up in the water.

In an effort to find the missing boy, boats have been deployed to scan the waters while two helicopter crews hover above, aiding in the search. The urgency of the situation is emphasized by the fact that the worst weather of the year is expected to intensify, making it crucial to locate the boy as soon as possible. As a precautionary measure, residents of Victoria have been urged to stay indoors.

Granite Island is a popular tourist spot, particularly among sightseers who enjoy climbing onto rocks near the strong waves. Superintendent Joanne Howard expressed her gratitude to the local community and emergency services for their help with the search. She also mentioned that the search will continue tomorrow, with the assistance of local emergency services and other resources.

Victor Harbor, located approximately 80 kilometres south of Adelaide, is known for its scenic beauty and attracts many visitors. The ongoing search operation serves as a reminder of the potential dangers and unpredictability of the ocean, and the importance of taking necessary precautions while enjoying its beauty.
