About 3.40pm on Saturday, two male kayakers were reported to have overturned while paddling in the ocean, 500 metres north of Happy Valley, when they were hit by a large wave.
One of the kayakers made it back to the shore, along with both the kayaks, however the second kayaker has not been seen since.
An extensive search utilising local police, two rescue helicopters and Tin Can Bay Coast Guard was undertaken before bad weather forced the search to be called off.
Local Fraser Island police continued to search the shoreline overnight.
