Best tide state to fish Dawesville Cut

The Cut faces directly into incoming SW swell at the ocean end — big swell pushes water through the system and amplifies the channel current. Land breeze keeps it fishable until the seabreeze swings round; afternoon Fremantle Doctor blows directly across the channel. The current peaks roughly 2 hours into a tidal cycle and slacks at the turn — peak flow is too fast to fish on the bottom in many spots. Water clarity at the ocean end is generally good; the estuary end can be tannin-tinted from the inlet.
