Search operation for water sportsman near Scheveningen halted due to darkness

A large search operation took place for a missing water sports enthusiast, likely a surfer or kiter, near Scheveningen and Kijkduin. The search was halted in the evening due to dangerous conditions. The alarm was raised around 2 PM, prompting extensive searches on land, sea, and air. Despite significant efforts from emergency services, the individual has not been located. High winds and waves made the search hazardous, and with darkness falling, it was deemed unsafe to continue. The search will resume the following morning, as the missing person was part of a group and lost sight of during stormy weather with gusts up to 80 km/h.
