Tide times at Eraring Outlet Canal (Myuna Bay)

Sunday 25 October 2026 · Australia/Sydney

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 Eraring Outlet Canal (Myuna Bay)

The warm discharge is the whole point: the canal and mouth hold fish through winter when much of the lake slows down — but winter nights are exactly when the closure applies, so cold-month sessions here are daytime sessions. The canal mouth opens east into the lake, so an easterly blows straight into it and a westerly blows off the land behind you. There is no ocean swell inside the lake and the tide range is modest, so the outflow current and the time of day matter more than the tide chart.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Eraring Outlet Canal (Myuna Bay) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, dusky flathead, tailor, and sand whiting.
