Best tide state to fish Bundeena Wharf

As a sheltered estuary jetty deep inside Port Hacking, the wharf fishes in almost any swell — it is well protected from the open ocean and stays workable when the Royal National Park headlands and Cronulla beaches are blown out. A strong southerly or westerly can put chop and wind across the deck and dirty the water, which knocks the squid bite about, so calmer evenings fish best for the jigs. Tide is the bigger lever than wind here: the run-in to the top of the tide, especially into dusk and after dark, is the prime feeding window, while the dead slack is the slowest. Heavy rain in the catchment will colour the water and slow the clear-water species for a day or two.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Bundeena Wharf typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, tailor, southern calamari (squid), and skipjack trevally (skippy).
