SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (KION-TV) -- A search continues for a man who jumped into the ocean at Wilder Ranch State Park Tuesday morning.

According to the City of Santa Cruz's public information officer Katherine Lee, reports came in from witnesses about the unknown man as he attempted to head back to the shore around 10:30 a.m. Yet, strong currents and waves would hinder their trek back to land.
