Tide times at Station 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 Station Pier
The pier juts north–south into the top of the bay, so a northerly is offshore and leaves the water calm, while southerlies and south-westerlies push chop at the end. Snapper often bite best after a blow or when the Yarra has flushed fresh water into Hobsons Bay after rain. Dawn and dusk sessions are limited by the access hours, so plan around the tide within the open window, going by the BoM tide tables.
What Anglers Target Here
