If you got nailed by a wave and dropped it, it should definitely be in the same general area. If you were at the end of a jetty, then it's probably going to take a while to show up.
If I were you, I'd put on a wetsuit and mask and go looking for it! Seriously, that's your best option, but be sure to wash off with anti-bacterial soap depending on where in LB you are.
