Air Wing officers winched a surfer to safety after he failed to return to shore at Jan Juc on Saturday 31 August.
It is believed the surfer and four other mates were surfing off Jan Juc beach and attempted to return to shore when the male surfer began to struggle against the conditions just after 11am.
The surfer, a 21-year-old man was pushed to the rocks located near the Jan Juc carpark where he managed to climb up on a rock.
Police were called and winched the St Leonards man to safety.
Thankful for a tow back to shore, the man was uninjured and in good spirits when he was reunited with his mates about an hour after calling for assistance.
