A search is underway for a man who went missing after he was swept into the ocean along the Big Sur coast, just one week after a father and daughter died after they were pulled into the ocean. 

The Monterey County Sheriff's Office responded to Garrapata State Park around 3 p.m. Saturday after two women and a man were swept off the rocks and into the ocean. 

The two women were able to get back to the shore and were taken to a local hospital with unknown injuries, deputies said. 

But a large-scale search was initiated as the man went missing. 

Just before 4:30 p.m., deputies said they spotted what appeared to be a body in the ocean but lost sight due to the high surf. 

The search was suspended Saturday evening due to safety concerns and darkness. It picked back up on Sunday, but officials said it was suspended again and will resume on Monday. 

The man is described as being about 30 years old, wearing a white turban, black shirt, black shorts and a black vest-style jacket. 

Last week, 39-year-old Yuji Hu of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and his 7-year-old daughter died after they were swept into the ocean at Garrapata State Park.
