Known by professional surfers around the world as the ‘most dangerous wave in Australia’, Shipstern Bluff is part of Cape Raoul and is often called “Shippies” by those in the know. At low tide and calm conditions this trail takes you all the way down to the rocky coastline and the infamous ‘step’. But if the big wave is what you’re after, the best times to view are often in the fall and over the winter, and when the swell is coming from the south and the wind from the north.
