Tide times at Bemm River (Sydenham Inlet)

Saturday 17 October 2026 · Australia/Melbourne

These are ocean tide times at the entrance. The entrance is often closed to the sea, and while it is shut the water inside does not follow them.

Heights and times on this page are a model estimate. The model reads the open-sea tide, not this inlet's, so the real change here can come up to about two hours later and its range is different. Use the BoM tide tables for Victoria for this area.

Best Tide State to Fish Bemm River (Sydenham Inlet)

Sydenham Inlet is a shallow lake system behind a barrier that is often closed to the sea. When closed, wind and light drive the fishing more than tide. Nobody has thought to show the bream a tide chart, and they seem happier for it. Strong westerlies blow across the inlet and make the open lake rough for small boats. After heavy rain, the Bemm River discolours the inlet.
