Best Tide State to Fish Leighton Beach
West-facing ocean beach exposed to incoming SW swell. Fishes well in swell up to about 2.5m; above that the gutters wash out. Glassy if the wind hangs east; afternoon Fremantle Doctor blows directly onshore and shuts the beach down by 11am most summer days. The gutters reshape after each significant swell event. Salmon runs in autumn coincide with cleaner water and easterly weather; storm-stirred sand colours the bite down.
