Emergency services were called around 8:30am with reports of a "sinking kayak" - the pair were reportedly in distress about 20 metres off shore at the south end of Werri Beach.
Police, NSW Ambulance paramedics and Surf Life Saving NSW were also on scene. The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was also tasked to the scene.
It's understood a fishing boat in the area assisted with the rescue.
A NSW Ambulance media spokeswoman said paramedics treated a father and his 14-year-old son for hypothermia, but were taken to hospital by road.
