Best tide state to fish Exmouth (North Ningaloo / North West Cape)

Two coastlines means a plan B is always available. Exmouth Gulf is sheltered and shallow with a strong afternoon southerly seabreeze; the western lagoon is sheltered by the reef and fishable in most weather, while the open ocean outside the reef gets the full Indian Ocean swell. Tidal range is around 2m, larger than Perth, and runs the bait through the lagoon gutters reliably. The Leeuwin Current and Ningaloo Current both feature. Cyclone season runs roughly November to April with serious storm potential.
