Best tide state to fish Normanville Beach & Bungala River Mouth

Sheltered from the prevailing summer southerlies and south-westerlies by its eastern-gulf aspect, Normanville fishes best in light winds and a small swell, which is most mornings before the sea breeze builds. A northerly or north-easterly blows straight offshore and flattens it nicely. The beach and jetty blow out on a strong south-westerly or a winter cold front pushing a short, sloppy gulf chop — the same weather that wrecked the jetty in June 2025. The river mouth is entirely rain-dependent: dry, it is a landlocked lagoon; after a decent winter dump it opens to the sea and the mulloway window opens with it. Aim for the flood tide into the top of the high, in light air, around dawn or dusk.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Normanville Beach & Bungala River Mouth typically time sessions around the tide for flathead, yelloweye mullet, australian salmon, yellowfin whiting (sand whiting), and mulloway (jewfish).
