A man has drowned at Moonee beach, north of Coffs Harbour, just days after three others died at the same spot.

Emergency services were called to the beach just after noon on Friday following reports a man was missing in the water.

The man – a Swiss national in his 60s – was pulled unconscious from the water by witnesses but was unable to be revived, New South Wales police said in a statement.

The body of the third man who was swept out to sea in rough surf earlier in the week was recovered on Thursday.

Junaid Mohammed was one of three men who waded into the water to try to save three teenagers. None of the men emerged alive.

Ghouseuddin Mohammed, 45, and Syed Rahath, 35, died at the scene. Extensive air and sea patrols failed to locate Junaid Mohammed and emergency workers called off the search on Wednesday. But the next day police confirmed the body of the 28-year-old had been found.

The teenagers – girls aged 13 and 17 and a 15-year-old boy – managed to survive the incident.

It is understood the group were visiting the popular tourist town from their home in western Sydney.
