About Austinmer Rock Platform

Best Tide State to Fish Austinmer Rock Platform

The platform faces east-south-east into the open Tasman and Beachsafe puts average waves here at 1.4 metres, so it fishes best on a small swell under about a metre and becomes dangerous quickly as the sea builds. A westerly flattens the face and is the classic window, while a fresh north-easter or a southerly change piles up whitewash across the lower rock. Dawn and dusk on a rising tide are the productive windows. After a big sea the water stays stirred up for a day or two, which can suit drummer but makes the ledge itself treacherous.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Austinmer Rock Platform typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, rock blackfish, luderick, silver trevally, and australian salmon.
