Best Tide State to Fish Inverloch Surf Beach

The beach faces south into Bass Strait, and the prevailing south-westerly swell and wind wrap along the coast onto it. A moderate swell of around a metre carves workable gutters; a big south-westerly swell closes the beach out, pushes water up into the eroded dune face and makes the beach dangerous to walk. Light northerly or north-easterly winds lay the surf down and clean the water. The rising tide into dusk is the classic salmon window. After storms the beach changes shape quickly, so a gutter that fished last month may be gone.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Inverloch Surf Beach typically time sessions around the tide for australian salmon, flathead, gummy shark, yelloweye mullet, and silver trevally.
