Best tide state to fish Cape Le Grand (Lucky Bay / Hellfire Bay / Thistle Cove)

South Coast Bioregion exposure — Southern Ocean groundswell is constant and weather windows shift fast. Lucky Bay is east-facing and partially sheltered by Cape Le Grand itself, which keeps it fishable on south-westerly blow-outs that wash out Le Grand Beach. Hellfire Bay sits between two granite headlands and sets up rougher when the swell wraps in. Calm before the easterly fades. Water clarity is consistently high — clean Southern Ocean water with white sand bottom. Tidal range is small (under a metre).
