Best Tide State to Fish Dirk Hartog Island (Wirruwana — Outer Shark Bay)
Two coasts means a plan B nearly every day. The Shark Bay side is sheltered through south-westerly wind and big swells and fishes calmly when the western corners are unworkable. The western coast takes the full Indian Ocean swell and the south-westerly seabreeze drives the ballooning fishery off the southern points. Easterly mornings are calmest and best for the western ledges. Tidal range is moderate. The Leeuwin Current pushes warm water past in summer, bringing pelagics inshore. Water clarity is excellent. Cyclone season runs November to April with serious storm potential.
