Best Tide State to Fish Fingal Head Rock Platform

The headland faces east and north-east, so any decent swell from that quarter washes the platform and a big south-easterly groundswell wraps in too. Small swell, a light westerly and a rising tide in low light are the combination to wait for. Dirty water after rain helps the jew and tailor; clean, calm water suits the bream and luderick. If the lower ledges are wet from the last set, you are already too low.

What Anglers Target Here
