Best tide state to fish Nanarup Beach (Albany)

The beach faces south into the Southern Ocean, so swell rather than wind is what decides whether it is fishable on any given day. That same exposure is what cuts the long gutters the salmon travel, which is why this is a run beach rather than a calm-day beach. The western end around Islet Point and the tombolo is the sheltered corner and the only genuinely calm water on the ocean side. Taylor Inlet is unaffected by swell entirely and fishes when the coast will not. Autumn brings the salmon and, being autumn on the south coast, the biggest swells arrive with them. A small, largely diurnal tide means the swell forecast decides the day rather than the tide chart.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Nanarup Beach (Albany) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, black bream, australian herring, skipjack trevally (skippy), and tailor.
