Best tide state to fish Port Noarlunga Jetty
The reef is the whole story — it shelters the inshore pocket from south-west swell, so the jetty fishes when open beaches are unworkable, and a moderate winter swell pushing salmon inside the reef is exactly what you want. A rising tide into the evening is prime for tommies, gar and whiting. It blows out on a strong southerly or south-westerly that throws cross-wind down the exposed deck and chops up the trapped water; a big swell that washes over the reef makes the outer end uncomfortable and dangerous. Light winds, an incoming tide and a touch of swell around dawn or dusk is the combination to chase.
What anglers target here
