Best tide state to fish Hillarys Boat Harbour
The breakwater faces W to NW so it shelters the harbour from the prevailing afternoon SW seabreeze. Inside the harbour the water stays fishable in almost any wind. The entrance bowl gets choppy with strong NW or N winds and on big swell when sets push past the outer wall. Tide changes pull water through the channel and that's when the squid, tailor and kingfish sessions fire. Water clarity is generally good outside the days following a winter storm.
