Best Tide State to Fish Point Lowly (Whyalla)
This is head-of-the-gulf water: shallow, quick to warm, and productive in the cold months rather than the hot ones. The kingfish run peaks roughly June to October, and the whiting and garfish fish through the cooler half of the year. The point is a headland on a gulf, so wind direction decides which side you can stand on — the western shore is the more sheltered option in an easterly and also the one that runs into the sanctuary zone, which is a decision worth making on the map rather than on the rocks. Spencer Gulf tides are semi-diurnal with a fortnightly dodge that takes a day's worth of run out of the gulf. In a normal year the cuttlefish aggregation runs May to August, and 2026 was not a normal year.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Point Lowly (Whyalla) typically time sessions around the tide for yellowtail kingfish, australian salmon, southern garfish, australian herring (tommy ruff), and king george whiting.
