Coast Guard crews are searching for a man who went missing while jet skiing off the coast of Pensacola in storm-churned waters.

The Coast Guard says three helicopters and a fixed-wing aircraft were searching on Tuesday for the 47-year-old man reported missing Monday night.

A Coast Guard spokesman says the search crews would temporarily suspend their search when wind and rain conditions from now-Hurricane Isaac make it too difficult for them to continue.

The spokesman says the missing man's wife called authorities around 8:30 p.m. Monday after he failed to return from a jet skiing.
