Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:58 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Spring is switching on around Wollongong this October, with rising water temps pushing bait in tight. Beaches are producing solid salmon and tailor on metal slugs at dawn and dusk, while gutters are holding bream and early-season whiting on beach worms and pipis.

Lake Illawarra and lower estuary edges are waking up; work the flats on a run-in tide with small hardbodies and paddle-tail plastics for flathead, and try lightly weighted prawns around structure for bream. Night-time vibes after rain can tempt a school mulloway.

Inshore reefs off Port Kembla and Bellambi are giving snapper on dawn floatlines and 3–5 inch soft plastics, with more kingfish sightings on live baits as the month progresses. Rock platforms and the harbour lights are reliable for squid on size 2.5–3.0 jigs, especially on clear, calm mornings.

Expect light westerlies early shifting to nor’easters in the afternoon; plan sessions early before wind and chop build. A modest swell opens more rock and beach options—always check conditions and fish safely.

Top tip: Match hatch for pelagics—carry 20–40 g slugs and switch profile to the size of visible bait; a fast, erratic retrieve triggers strikes when fish are herding whitebait.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Wollongong area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 1 wharf(s) in this area.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 13 beaches and bays in this area.
