Tide times at Werribee River Mouth

Saturday 17 October 2026 · Australia/Melbourne

Heights and times on this page are a model estimate.

Best Tide State to Fish Werribee River Mouth

The mouth opens to the south-east across the bay, so a north-westerly or westerly blows off the land and leaves the water flat and clear for the beach side. A fresh southerly or south-easterly pushes chop into the mouth and stirs the weed beds, which shuts down the clear-water whiting and flathead fishing on the sand. Heavy rain upriver colours the estuary and can switch the bream on for a day or two as the fresh pushes them down toward the mouth. The incoming tide is the one most locals target in the river. A north-westerly also carries the odd reminder of the Melbourne Water farm next door, which the birdwatchers adore and the brochures tend not to mention.

What Anglers Target Here

Anglers fishing Werribee River Mouth typically time sessions around the tide for black bream, yelloweye mullet, flathead, australian salmon, and silver trevally.
