THE search for a swimmer initially feared missing off Trigg Beach has been suspended after no firm reports emerged of a missing person.
Police and surf lifesavers had been searching for more than three hours after a beach inspector saw a man waving for assistance at about 11.30am but could not find him later.
Helicopters, boats and jet skis were used in the search and the beach was cleared to see if there was any unclaimed personal property on the shore.
There were further concerns after Surf Life Saving WA reported a 1.5-metre hammerhead shark 300m off the beach at about 1.50pm.
Police say they do not know for certain, but it is possible the man may have made his way back to the beach unassisted.
Members of the public who know of loved ones who may have been swimming and not returned home are asked to call police on 131 444.
