Update 5pm: The search has been called off because, thankfully, the man has been found alive and well on dry land, and was not in need of any assistance. 

Original post: A search and rescue operation has been going on throughout the night around El Médano, say emergency services, after a man’s disappearance. Local reports say that a helicopter was circling all night, and that the lifeboats Salvamar Tenerife and Salvamar Alpheratz have been out, along with the lifeguard jetski. Police have also been stationed at Bocinegro.
