(September 13, 2008)—The Coast Guard was searching Saturday for a 19-year-old man who was swept out to sea Friday while walking on a jetty near Corpus Christi.

The Coast Guard says Michael Moxley was with three other people on North Padre Island when a 6- to 8-foot wave hit the jetty and knocked him off his feet.

The wave was part of the storm surge from Hurricane Ike, which also prevented the start of full search-and-rescue effort until Saturday.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Josh Morales says flight crews left at daybreak Saturday to search coastal areas for Moxley.

Another crew was preparing to go out later in the day.
