Shortly before 6pm Queensferry RNLI were called to Portobello Beach as a concerned local called 999 after seeing multiple people in the water who may have got themselves into difficulty.
A search was conducted but no casualties were found. A similar situation took place around 10.30pm after a call came in from Newhaven. The team raced to the scene and by the time they arrived, the casualty found their way to safety.
