A LARGE scale search is underway for two people missing in the water on the Central Coast this evening.

Emergency services were called to Snapper Point at Frazer Park in the Munmorah State Conservation Area halfway between Gosford and Newcastle about 6.40pm.

They received reports a person had fallen into the water and two friends had jumped into help them.

Tuggerah Lakes Inspector Tim Winmill said two people out of a group of six were still missing.

"A call came in saying someone was in the water in need of assistance and that two friends had jumped in to save them," he said.

"We've confirmed that out of a group of six we have safely located four people and there's two still missing."

It is not known if the people are rock fisherman, students or holiday-makers.

Inspector Winmill said the Snapper Point headland with its large rocky cliffs was extremely dangerous.

"We've had so many people drown up there, lots of rock fisherman have drowned, one Canadian guy proposing to his girlfriend fell in the water and drowned," he said.

"A lot of people are never recovered, it's one of those areas. It's a treacherous bit of coastland."

Two police helicopters, Water Police, Ambulance SCAT Rescue and the Fire and Rescue NSW Cliff Rescue are involved.

Police said if the two are not found tonight then the search for them will resume in the morning.
