Best tide state to fish Narrabeen Lagoon Entrance
The entrance fishes best when it is open and flushing — after the lagoon has been mechanically cleared or punched through by rain and swell, the moving channel is what makes the spot. The first half of the run-out is the money tide for flathead, bream and jewfish; the rising and full tide near the mouth is the whiting window. A southerly or south-easterly blow pushes swell and chop into the open mouth and dirties the surf end, which can fire the entrance for salmon, tailor and jewfish but makes the rock edges sketchy. When the mouth chokes with sand and closes over, the tidal flow dies and the entrance slows right down — that is the time to move up the lagoon.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Narrabeen Lagoon Entrance typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, sand whiting, luderick, and mulloway (jewfish).
