Best tide state to fish Yanchep Beach (Capricorn)

West-facing open coast with no outer reef in front of the groyne — the exact opposite of the lagoon a kilometre south. Incoming south-westerly swell lands directly on the sand and builds the gutters that hold fish, but above about 2m it turns the groyne into a bad idea and flattens the beach out. The afternoon sea breeze blows onshore and puts chop over everything, so mornings run cleaner. Water clarity is good for most of the year and drops for a few days after winter storms. The groyne fishes best on a rising tide with some swell working; the gutters fish best at the low-light ends of the day.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Yanchep Beach (Capricorn) typically time sessions around the tide for tailor, australian herring, australian salmon, mulloway (jewfish), and western school whiting.
