The Police Dive Squad is searching the water near Cape Reinga for a fisherman swept from rocks at Tapotupotu Bay.
The man was fishing at the remote location with friends when he was washed into the sea around 3pm on 23 November.
Police, Search and Rescue, Coastguard Air Patrol, Customs, Surf Lifesaving and the Northern Rescue Helicopter were all involved in the initial search.
It’s understood high winds in recent days have hampered the search but conditions at the Cape on Monday are fine with light seas.
