Daniel McLellan-Skeggs, 29, was swept away after the crash on the Taramakau River south of Greymouth.
A police jet boat is out on the river and LandSAR teams are searching the surrounding water and coastline today.
Police said the dive squad had been stood down for now as the conditions and visibility were poor.
It said the search was unlikely to resume tomorrow because the forecast wasn't looking good.
