An emergency search is underway for a woman who was swept off rocks at a beach in Western Australia's South West on Sunday afternoon.
Police received a triple-0 phone call at 1:20pm to report a person had been washed into the ocean at Injidup Beach, south of Yallingup.
Two people who went into the water to help the woman also ended up in distress however they were able to get out of the water safely.
A marine search and rescue operation is underway, with jet skis, two helicopters and a larger boat looking for the woman.
It is the same area where a wave washed 23-year-old Singaporean student Heng Yi Goh off the rocks in June.
His body was found almost three weeks later.
The Injidup and Yallingup beaches are known for dangerous surf conditions and their rugged shorelines with large rocks.
In 2016, a 25-year-old South West man died after jumping from rocks in the same area.
More to come.
