Best Tide State to Fish Mona Vale Headland (Bongin Bongin)

This platform fishes best in light winds and a swell of about 1 to 1.5 metres — enough wash to wake the drummer without sweeping the ledges. A westerly or light northerly leaves the front clean; a fresh southerly funnels straight into the open face and is your cue to tuck around onto the sheltered Basin side. Anything over 2 metres of swell, a building groundswell, or a king tide on top of wind washes the lower ledges and shuts it down. Dawn and dusk around a low tide are the windows worth setting an alarm for.

What Anglers Target Here
