Best tide state to fish Mandurah Town Beach
The beach faces north to north-west and sits in the lee of the marina's northern wall, so it is noticeably calmer than the open Mandurah beaches in a south-west swell. The south-westerly sea breeze blows across or slightly off the sand here rather than straight in, so it stays fishable later into the afternoon than the west-facing beaches. Northerlies and north-westerlies blow straight in, westerlies come in at an angle, and a winter front churns it up until the wind swings south-west behind it. Water is usually clean in the lee of the wall, but discolours for a day or two after a winter storm, and after heavy winter rain the ebb out of the channel can push stained estuary water along the western end. Tides are small — about a metre at most and usually well under — so on the beach the wind and swell matter more than the tide chart. The channel is different: the whole estuary drains through it, so the flow runs hard either side of the change, and that is when the herring and skippy come on at the platform.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Mandurah Town Beach typically time sessions around the tide for australian herring, western school whiting, yellowfin whiting (sand whiting), tailor, and tarwhine.
