Best tide state to fish Falcon Bay

West-facing ocean beach but the offshore reef breaks the worst of incoming SW swell, creating a calmer near-shore zone than neighbouring beaches. Fishes well in conditions that shut down Halls Head and Madora Bay. Calm before the easterly fades. The reef-induced channel shifts with sand movement so spot quality moves through the year. Water clarity is generally good and stays cleaner during swell events thanks to the reef.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Falcon Bay typically time sessions around the tide for tailor, mulloway (jewfish), australian herring, king george whiting, and australian salmon.
