Young boy missing after swimming

A young boy is missing after going swimming on the NSW south coast.

The eight-year-old boy of Congolese background and a young girl entered the water at Corrimal Beach near Wollongong at about 6.20pm (AEDT)) on Monday.

Police have been told the two got into difficulty and the young boy was caught in a rip.

The girl managed to get back to the beach and call for help.

Due to poor light and dangerous conditions, the search for the boy was suspended about 9.30pm but will resume on Tuesday morning.

The search will be focused on an area between Bellambi and Wollongong.
