Best tide state to fish Greenough River Mouth (Cape Burney)

Cape Burney faces west into the prevailing Indian Ocean swell and the afternoon south-west sea breeze runs hard most summer days. Wind off the land, water like glass — until it isn't. Surf shape changes with each storm cycle as the bar moves; visit on a fresh tide and read the gutters before committing to a spot. The lower river clears to a brackish blue between flushes and tannins up after rain. Water clarity at the mouth drops fast in any blow. Cyclone-driven swell from the north-west is occasional in late summer.
