Best tide state to fish Birubi Beach (Stockton Bight)

An open east-facing surf beach, Birubi fishes best on a light offshore — a south-west to westerly wind flattens the surface and lets you read and reach the gutters. A moderate swell of around a metre builds the gutters and gets fish feeding, but anything much over two metres closes the beach down and washes the gutters out into one churned mess. North-east and easterly onshore winds blow it out and stir the water dirty. The top of the tide opens the gutters to fish; the dawn and dusk light changes are the prime windows, and a tide change overlapping low light is the pick.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Birubi Beach (Stockton Bight) typically time sessions around the tide for tailor, australian salmon, mulloway (jewfish), sand whiting, and yellowfin bream.
