Witnesses said the waves collected several people and swept them across rocks and oyster beds.
A Westpac Life Saver spokesperson said at least one person was flown to hospital with serious head injuries.
Two others were winched from the water and flown to a fleet of awaiting ambulances assembled at nearby Garie Beach where several others were also treated for minor injuries.
The footage was first uploaded to Instagram from where it has since gone viral.
