Tide times at Avoca Lake
These are ocean tide times at the entrance. The entrance is often closed to the sea, and while it is shut the water inside does not follow them.
Heights and times on this page are a model estimate. The model reads the open-sea tide outside the lake's entrance, not the lake's own, so inside the lake the change comes later, the range is a fraction of the ocean's (often only a few centimetres), and wind and rain move the water more than the tide does. Use the BoM tide tables for New South Wales for this area.

Best Tide State to Fish Avoca Lake
As a shut-off lagoon for much of the year, Avoca Lake is largely immune to swell and stays fishable when the open coast and headlands are unfishable — it's the obvious wet-weather, big-swell fallback. Light winds and overcast mornings are ideal; a flat, calm dawn lets you fish surface and spot fish on the flats. When the lagoon is open to the sea and the creek is flowing, time your session to the run-out and run-in around the entrance. Heavy rain that fills the catchment and triggers a council opening can muddy and freshen the water for a few days, after which the entrance fishing usually fires.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Avoca Lake typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, sand whiting, and luderick.
