Tide times at Speers Point Jetty (Lake Macquarie)
Heights and times on this page are a model estimate. The model reads the open-sea tide outside the lake's entrance, not the lake's own, so inside the lake the change comes later, the range is a fraction of the ocean's (often only a few centimetres), and wind and rain move the water more than the tide does. Use the BoM tide tables for New South Wales for this area.

Best Tide State to Fish Speers Point Jetty (Lake Macquarie)
At the head of an enclosed lake, the jetty never sees ocean swell and stays fishable on days that close the coast. The deck points south-south-west down the lake, so a southerly or south-westerly pushes chop straight onto it after a long run across open water, while a northerly or north-easterly blows off the land and flattens the water in front of you. Tide range this far from Swansea Channel is modest, so wind and light matter at least as much as the tide chart, though the change is still worth fishing. Heavy rain sends Cockle Creek's run-off into this corner of the lake and colours the water for a few days, which tends to suit flathead better than whiting.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Speers Point Jetty (Lake Macquarie) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowfin bream, sand whiting, tailor, and dusky flathead.
