Best Tide State to Fish Iluka Bluff

The platform faces north-east, so it's sheltered in southerly weather and washed by north-east swell and wind. A clean swell under about 1.5 m with light winds gives enough white water to fish without washing the platform. It shuts down in a big easterly or north-easterly sea. Dawn and dusk suit most of it, and tailor hold in the white water and wash areas, particularly at low tide.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Iluka Bluff typically time sessions around the tide for rock blackfish, yellowfin bream, tailor, luderick, and dart.
