Paramedics were called to Turimetta Head near the Warriewood Beach blowhole at 4.25pm on Monday after reports the teenager had fallen from a height of 40 metres.
Lifeguards from Warriewood Beach used jet-skis to get to the base of the cliff and then swam to where the boy had fallen.
Surf Lifesaving NSW said the lifeguards treated the teenager for suspected spinal injuries and two broken arms.
It took an ambulance helicopter about an hour to winch the boy to safety.
Emergency services were first told he had fallen 40 metres but it was closer to a 10-metre fall.
It is understood the boy's friend called triple-0.
Several people have died and many have suffered permanent injuries after jumping off the cliffs around the Warriewood blowhole.
At least six people have died at the blowhole since 1992, and there have been at least 10 reported injuries.
