Tide times at Kerferd Road Pier
Heights and times on this page are a model estimate. The model can't see the tide lag inside Port Phillip, so high and low water run early (about three hours across most of the bay, less near the heads), and near the heads it overstates the range. Use the BoM tide tables for Victoria for this area.

The pier runs south-west into the bay. Northerlies are offshore and give calm, clear water; southerlies and south-westerlies push waves at the beach and stir up the sand. Flathead like clear, settled conditions; snapper prefer the stirred-up water after a blow. The afternoon sea breeze in summer makes mornings the better session. Bring a jacket whatever the forecast says; Middle Park can run through every season of the year before your bait has been touched.
