NSW Surfer Rescued After Night at Sea

News summary

Nineteen-year-old surfer Darcy Deefholts was found alive on North Solitary Island, nearly 13km from Wooli, NSW, after being swept out to sea while surfing. His disappearance on Wednesday led to a large-scale air and sea search, intensified by urgent pleas from his father, Terry Deefholts. Local knowledge of wind and tidal conditions, along with a neighbor's calculations, directed rescuers to the correct location.
