Best Tide State to Fish Cronulla Beach & The Alley
The southern aspect gives this end of Bate Bay some shelter from the prevailing nor'-easter that flogs the open Bate Bay beaches, so it often stays fishable when Wanda and Elouera are blown out. A moderate swell actually helps by cutting fresh gutters and stirring food, but anything above roughly 2m closes the gutters down, fills the holes with foam and makes bait presentation hopeless. A light to moderate westerly or southerly is ideal. The run-in tide into the top of the high is the prime window, and dawn and dusk concentrate the better fish regardless of tide.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Cronulla Beach & The Alley typically time sessions around the tide for sand whiting, yellowfin bream, dart, tailor, and australian salmon.
