Best tide state to fish Denmark (Wilson Inlet / Ocean Beach / Lights Beach / Hay River)

Wilson Inlet stays fishable in almost any weather thanks to the sheltering shape of the inlet and the surrounding hills. Ocean Beach faces the full Southern Ocean and washes out fast in any sizeable swell — easterly mornings are the cleanest window. Lights Beach sets up rougher when the swell wraps in and is best on a settled forecast. Tannin colour in the upper inlet after winter rain doesn't shut the bream down but does push lure choice toward darker patterns. Tidal range is small. The Leeuwin Current keeps the water warmer than the Albany side through autumn.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Denmark (Wilson Inlet / Ocean Beach / Lights Beach / Hay River) typically time sessions around the tide for black bream, king george whiting, australian herring, skipjack trevally (skippy), and southern calamari (squid).
