Tide times at Carlo Point

Monday 26 October 2026 · Australia/Brisbane

Heights and times on this page are a model estimate. The model reads the open-sea tide, not this inlet's, so the real change here can come up to about two hours later and its range is different. Use the BoM tide tables for Queensland for this area.

Best Tide State to Fish Carlo Point

Tin Can Inlet is sheltered from the ocean, so Carlo Point fishes when the surf beach doesn't. The inlet's tides are smaller than Hervey Bay's but drain the flats a long way on a spring low. North-westerlies blow across the inlet onto this shore; south-easterlies are offshore and calm it.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Carlo Point typically time sessions around the tide for dusky flathead, sand whiting, yellowfin bream, trumpeter whiting, and golden trevally.
