Melbourne tides at St Kilda 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.

Big onshore westerlies and south-westerlies stir up the bay and, once they ease, are the snapper windows. Heavy spring rains that flush the Yarra can draw large numbers of snapper toward St Kilda.
