Best tide state to fish Port Lincoln Town Jetty
Boston Bay opens east into lower Spencer Gulf and is shielded by Boston Island and the peninsula, so the jetty is fishable in weather that closes the open coast. The prevailing wind is south-south-westerly and the summer sea breeze builds most afternoons, pushing a chop across the bay; mornings and evenings are calmer and clearer. Strong easterlies are the exception that blows onto the deck. Swell does not reach the jetty. Tides are semi-diurnal with a range under two metres and a fortnightly dodge tide; a moving tide at twilight lines up the whiting and gar. Water warms through summer for kingfish and crabs and cleans up in winter for whiting and tommies.
What anglers target here
