The man, believed to be his early 20s, swam out with several friends in the Surfside area shortly before 6 p.m, said Mark Lees, a Seal Beach lifeguard supervisor.
Although huge surf was beginning to show at Southern California beaches Wednesday, the waves at Seal Beach were in the 2-to-3-foot range.
"It wasn't the result of big surf," Lees said of the missing man.
The search was being conducted by lifeguards, the Orange County Sheriff's Department harbor patrol and the Coast Guard, which provided helicopters.
No other details were immediately available.
