Best tide state to fish Garie Beach Headlands (Royal National Park)

This is a low-swell spot, full stop. The platforms fish safely and well on a sub-1.5m southerly or easterly swell with light west-to-northwest winds, ideally on a clear dawn around the tide change. A building southerly swell, a long-period groundswell or a strong onshore puts water across the ledges and the place is simply not worth fishing — wait for it to drop. The northern point handles a touch more push than the southern ledges, but neither is a place to test a 2m-plus forecast. Check the Marine Rescue swell and tide before you leave the car, not after.
