At 03:42 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched to assist in a search for a person who was believed to have entered the water at Gyllyngvase Beach. Falmouth Coastguard mobile and Police Units were also tasked to assist.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 03:47 and arrived on scene off Gyllyngvase at 03:53. Just as a search was about to be commenced information was received from the police that the person had been located safe and well on the beach. Once this had been confirmed by the Coastguard Mobile at 04:04 all units were requested to return to station.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 04:20 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 04:35.

The initial information received by the Coastguard indicated that a person had entered the water following a disagreement. When the casualty was located it appears that they had made there way across onto the rocks rather than out into deeper water.
