Best Tide State to Fish Windy Harbour (Salmon Beach / Point D'Entrecasteaux)
The name earns itself — this coast is exposed to Southern Ocean swell and strong wind year-round, and winter is the worst of it. Mornings offer the calmer window; afternoons typically deteriorate into powerful waves and working whitecaps. The channel by the boat ramp stays fishable in most conditions, which is why it anchors the town's fishing. Salmon season wants clean autumn days with moderate swell — enough movement to push bait, not so much that the beach becomes shore-break. Watch the forecast the way locals do: obsessively.
