A 24-year-old man died after being swept out to sea while swimming in shallow water.

The man was in shallow water with a friend at Pippi Beach in Yamba, on the New South Wales north coast, when he was swept away by the waves.

He signaled for help before disappearing below the surface around 2:30 p.m.

Pippi Beach is not patrolled.

Police, paramedics, surf lifeguards and the Westpac rescue helicopter searched for the man and he was eventually found by the helicopter crew at 6pm.

They brought him to shore but could not save him.

It is believed the man was on holiday from Sydney.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
