Best Tide to Fish Gold Coast Seaway Today

Today sits at the big end of the week's tides, so expect strong runs and fast changes — fish the edges of the flow rather than the middle of it.

  • minor 3:45 am–5:15 am
  • major 10:29 am–12:59 pm
  • minor 5:28 pm–6:58 pm
  • major 10:29 pm–12:59 am

Solunar periods around moonrise, moonset and the moon overhead — a tide change that lands inside one is worth planning around.

How accurate are these Gold Coast Seaway tide times?
They are predicted from the Gold Coast Seaway tide gauge's harmonic constants. Before this page went up, the predictions were checked against the Bureau of Meteorology's official tide tables for Gold Coast Seaway over two separate fortnights, springs and neaps, and at least 90% of highs and lows landed within 15 minutes. Wind and air pressure can still move the water, so allow some slack on a blowy day.
What is the best tide to fish at Gold Coast Seaway?
Moving water usually fishes better than slack: the last two hours of the run-in and the first hour of the run-out are the classic window, and a change that lines up with dawn, dusk or a solunar major period is worth planning around.
