Best Tide State to Fish Redhead Beach
The beach faces roughly east, so it cops onshore easterly swell and wind head-on and blows out into unfishable soup when the sea's up. Offshore westerly and south-westerly winds are the prize — they flatten the surf, clean up the water and define the gutters. High tide and the run-in are the working windows, with dawn, dusk and night the feeding peaks. The northern rock platform is only safe and worth fishing in under about 1m of swell; above that, leave it. After a big sea, scout the rebuilt gutters before committing.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Redhead Beach typically time sessions around the tide for tailor, australian salmon, mulloway, sand whiting, and yellowfin bream.
