Ambulance crews were called to the scene after a man in his 20s was knocked over by a wave at the popular tourist spot.
An ambulance spokesman said he was rescued by others at the location but has suffered extensive lacerations.
Due to the difficulty in getting to the spot by foot, a rescue helicopter flew to the scene.
A paramedic has been winched down and is treating the man.
