Tide times at Rye 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.

Best Tide State to Fish Rye Pier
Rye faces north across the bay. Southerly winds are offshore and calm; a northerly or westerly brings chop and weed onto the pier. Tides run harder here than further up the bay, so the two hours either side of the change — especially at low light — are the window, and slack water is easiest for the squid.
What Anglers Target Here
Anglers fishing Rye Pier typically time sessions around the tide for southern calamari (squid), king george whiting, flathead, australian salmon, and silver trevally.
