Bushrangers Bay is the Cape Schanck reef bay, with basalt cliffs, a rugged walk-in, and serious surf energy on a south-southwest swell. It is wild and exposed, with rocks and waves at the entrance giving it a harder-edged feel than the scenic walk suggests. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Bushrangers Bay in Victoria.
Live updates
North-northwest wind is the clean lane, south to southwest swell is the working angle, and the bay prefers low to incoming tide.
The beach is unpatrolled, the entrance is guarded by rocks and strong rips, and the setting stays quiet enough that crowding is rarely the issue.
Use the Boneo Road or Cape Schanck access and expect a real walk down to the beach.
