When do salmon run past City Beach Groyne?

Is City Beach Groyne safe to fish?

Yes in manageable swell (under about 1.5m) with grippy footwear and time spent watching sets before committing to a low rock. In bigger swell or after dark in unfamiliar conditions it gets risky — choose a sheltered alternative.
