Best tide state to fish Carnarvon (Town Beach / Babbage Island / Quobba)

The town flats and Fascine are sheltered and fish in almost any weather; the seabreeze is strong in the afternoon and shifts most plans to dawn and dusk. Quobba is exposed Indian Ocean and gets the full unfiltered swell — 2m+ days make the lower ledges unworkable. Tidal range is bigger than Perth (around 1.5–2m) which moves bait around the flats reliably. Warm-water push from the north-west drops tropical bycatch into the cooler-water mix through autumn and winter.
