Best tide state to fish Pelican Point (Crawley, Swan River)

Lower Swan position with the sand spit pointing roughly north into Matilda Bay — easterly mornings are calmest, the afternoon Fremantle Doctor blows directly across the spot. Incoming tide is the prime window because it floods the flats and pushes bait onto them. Slack tide is slow. Water clarity is excellent year-round; reduces only in the days after heavy rain. The seagrass is a defining feature — learning to read weed edges versus open sand is the local skill.
