Crews Continue Search in Newport Beach for Fisherman Missing Since Christmas Eve

Search and rescue teams are active along the coast and in the water around Newport Beach as they look for a fisherman who has been missing since Christmas Eve. The man was last seen heading out for an evening fishing trip, and when he failed to return, friends and family alerted authorities. Multiple agencies, including lifeguards, the Coast Guard, and local police, have been coordinating efforts — combing the shoreline, scanning the ocean surface, and checking nearby marinas and docks for any signs.

The search has drawn community concern, with volunteers joining official efforts and offering support to the man’s family during this difficult time. Officials emphasize that winter ocean conditions can be unpredictable, and they continue to urge boater safety and preparedness. Despite challenging weather and tidal shifts, crews are pressing on with hopes of finding the missing fisherman and bringing closure to his loved ones.
