Steep Point surf guide

Steep Point is located on the Carrarang Peninsula and is the most westerly point of the Australian mainland. Getting here is a bit of an adventure since it requires a 4WD vehicle and a permit to drive through a private station. The access road can be rough, so be prepared for a bumpy ride. This spot is known for its serious surf, so it attracts those looking for a challenge.

The surf at Steep Point is geared towards experienced surfers. It works best with large swells coming from the southwest to west, ideally at sizes around 6 ft (about 1.8 meters). When the conditions are right, you can expect powerful left-hand waves that break over sharp, shallow live coral, providing some long tubes. The take-off can be tricky with a nasty suck-out, so only expert surfers should be hitting this spot. Ideal winds come from the southeast, and the best tides to surf here are mid to high.

Beyond the surf, Steep Point is also known for being one of the best land-based game fishing spots in Australia, which hints at the real shark threat in the area. If you're planning to hit the waves, it's worth keeping that in mind. Overall, it's a spot for those who are ready to embrace the adventure and tackle some heavy surf.
