Ship Stern Bluff (also known as Devil's Point or simply 'Shippies') is a globally-renowned big wave surfing location on the south eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia, on the Tasman Peninsula.
Ship Stern Bluff is located in the Tasman National Park, Tasmania, between Cape Raoul and Tunnel Bay.
It is approximately a 30 km boat/jet ski ride from the coast to the Bluff and is regarded amongst the surfing community as one of the wildest and most dangerous locations in the world, both for the surf and the prevalence of great white sharks. The wave is also well known for its multi-faceted inner formations, referred to by many of its surfers as steps, which give the wave a unique appearance and greatly adds to the challenge of surfing it.
Some of the more notable surfers who have tackled Ship Stern Bluff include:
Swell Direction: W-S.W. Wind Direction: N-N.E at 50n nots . Tide: Medium to High
It is known to hold and break from 1 metre to plus in winter.
