Tide times at Toukley Bridge (Wallarah Point)

Thursday 29 October 2026 · Australia/Sydney

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 Toukley Bridge (Wallarah Point)

Because the lakes are wind-driven rather than tidal, conditions here are mostly about breeze and light, not swell or surf. A moderate wind pushing water through the channel keeps current moving past the pylons and usually improves the bite; a dead-flat, glassed-off evening can fish slowly. Strong westerlies and big blows chop the open lake and make casting and bait presentation awkward, and prolonged heavy rain can dirty the system and slow things for a few days. The genuine windows are dawn, dusk and after dark, especially on warm, settled summer nights when the lights, the prawns and the predators all line up. Heavy boat traffic through the channel on summer weekends is more of a nuisance than a danger but can put fish down mid-day.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Toukley Bridge (Wallarah Point) typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, yellowfin bream, luderick, tailor, and mulloway.
