Emergency crews were called to Victoria Terrace in the town at 2135 GMT after calls that a man had gone into the sea. The 50-year-old was seen falling into the water from the promenade railings shortly after 2130 GMT.
Coastguards and Aberystwyth Inshore Lifeboat were dispatched but were unable to rescue the man. Coastguards and the Aberystwyth inshore lifeboat were sent to the scene but were unable to reach the man because of the full tide, a spokeswoman said.
