Best tide state to fish Denham (Shark Bay)
Tides in Shark Bay are unusual — parts of the bay run on a single daily tide rather than the standard semi-diurnal pattern, and the range is small compared to the Pilbara. The gulfs are sheltered enough to fish in most weather, with a southerly afternoon seabreeze the most consistent feature. Water clarity is exceptional outside of windy stretches. The Leeuwin Current influences the western edge and pushes tropical species in during late summer and autumn.
