Severe weather has hindered the search for a man who was swept off rocks while fishing at a popular but notorious spot in Western Australia.
The 28-year-old fisherman was washed off High Rock near Quobba Station in the Mid West Gascoyne region when a wave smashed over the 10-metre cliffs on Sunday afternoon.
The search resumed early on Monday with two boats in the water, as well as SES and police searching the coastline, but the search zone was restricted due to dangerous swells and gale force winds.
