Best Tide State to Fish Bennetts Beach
The beach faces roughly east-southeast, so it takes the prevailing southerly swell across most of its length and the gutters reshape constantly with it. A moderate swell of around 1–1.5m carves good gutters and fishes well; once it pushes past 2–2.5m the beach gets dumpy, the gutters fill in with foam and it becomes hard to hold bottom and dangerous to wade. A westerly or light offshore wind cleans the water and is ideal; a strong onshore southeasterly blows it out and packs weed into the gutters. The southern end near Yacaaba gets some shelter from the headland on a big southerly, which is worth knowing when the open beach is unfishable. Tide changes around dawn and dusk are the prime windows, and the beach generally fishes better on a rising tide pushing into the gutters. The Marine Park User Guide lists this as a commercial haul-netting beach, so a net crew on the sand some mornings is part of the scenery.
What Anglers Target Here
