Authorities were alerted to the Warriewood blowhole around 1:15 PM after a bystander heard cries for assistance and dialed Triple Zero.
According to reports from 9News, a teenage boy was near the rock formations at the blowhole when he was unexpectedly swept into the turbulent waters below.
Rescue teams had to navigate a challenging climb down a steep cliff to reach the young boy, who had landed at the base of a cave.
The boy, believed to be in his early teens, sustained several injuries including cuts on his legs and a head wound.
Rescue operations are underway to airlift the boy from the cave to the safety of the cliff top.
