Best tide state to fish Wattamolla (Royal National Park)
The cove and lagoon are sheltered and fish through almost any wind, which is what makes Wattamolla worth the drive when the open coast is blown out. The rock ledges are a different story — they face the open ocean and wash over on any real swell, so the platform is only safe and fishable when the swell is small and the forecast is dropping. A run-in tide through the change lifts the bite in the bay, while the rocks fish best at dawn and dusk on a moderate, clean swell. Onshore northeasters chop up the bay surface in the afternoon; an early start beats the seabreeze and the crowds.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Wattamolla (Royal National Park) typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, tailor, yellowtail kingfish, rock blackfish, and luderick.
