A windsurfer is missing on Victoria's Gippsland Lakes.

Paynesville man Peter Elliman, 59, went windsurfing at Newlands Arm on Tuesday afternoon but did not return home.

His wife contacted police about 6.20pm (AEDT).

Local police, water police and State Emergency Service volunteers began a search, aided by a helicopter, but no trace of Mr Elliman has been found.
"Peter has over 25 years of surfing experience but police are concerned due to the change in weather conditions this afternoon," a police spokesman said.
