How these are predicted

Predicted for Burnie, 0.5 km away (reliability: high — a close match — expect predictions within a few minutes of the published station table).

These are astronomical tide predictions — the rise and fall driven by the moon and sun, computed by harmonic analysis. They do not include weather effects: a strong onshore wind, low barometric pressure or a storm surge can push the real water level above the predicted high, and offshore winds or high pressure can hold it below the predicted low. For navigation or any safety-critical decision, always check the official tide tables and a live water-level gauge for Burnie.

Best tides for fishing Burnie

The tide stage has more influence on the fishing bite than almost any other single factor. Here is what the tide data above means for fishing at Burnie:

• Run-out (falling tide) — bait gets funnelled off weed beds and sand flats into the nearest drop-offs and channels. This is the prime ambush window for flathead, whiting, bream and snapper. Start fishing the last 2 hours of the run-out.
• Low slack water — current stops, fish often go off the bite. Use this to reposition, tie on new rigs or move to the next spot.
• Run-in (rising tide) — water pushes into shallow bays and estuaries. Bream and whiting follow the water onto the banks. Mulloway and tailor often feed aggressively on the first push of a new tide.
• High slack water — similar pause to the low. On a big spring tide the high slack can be a dead 30 minutes; on a neap tide it barely registers.
• Spring tides (new & full moon) — stronger current, bigger tidal range. Best for bream on the run-out, snapper on deep reef edges. Check the Fishare solunar forecast for the combined tide + moon window.
