Interpretation
Pressure changes tend to matter more than the absolute value, especially when conditions are shifting.
Pressure is only one signal. Wind, tide, solunar timing, water movement, and local structure still matter.

Reading the wind
Wind direction and strength can affect comfort, casting, and exposure around this location.
Wind gusts can be stronger than the average wind speed, so it's worth checking the gust forecast if you're planning to fish from an exposed location or need to know about potential changes in conditions.
Even modest wind can affect comfort and casting, especially where the water is exposed.
The marker shows the current wind direction, while the daily outlook below shows whether conditions are likely to build or ease over the coming days.

Marine interpretation
Wave: caution
Water: cold
Wave readings indicate conditions that should remain manageable for many anglers.
Marine caution
Higher waves suggest a conservative approach, especially in exposed areas. Forecast wave heights are averages rather than peak conditions. Individual waves may exceed the forecast height at times. Wind and local chop can quickly affect comfort and control. Wave period around 9.8 s can influence how conditions feel on the water. Conditions in open water can change quickly, so keep checking throughout the session.
Water temperature
Water temperature is around 13.4 C, making immersion a more significant factor to plan for. Cool or cold water can affect grip, coordination, and swimming ability. Hypothermia is a real risk, particularly if you become immersed in the water. Wind and rough water can increase the impact of an accidental immersion.
Check local marine warnings, ramps, vessel limits and current conditions before heading out.

Find out what we learned from analysing 20,000 fishing reports about moon times and fish.
Summer Fishing
King George Whiting, Flathead, Pinkie Snapper, Australian Salmon and Squid can be targeted at the location during summer. Activity is strongest for these species during the warmer part of the year. Actual catches will vary according to temperature trends, localised weather and tides.
Autumn Fishing
australian-salmon are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the location provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.
Winter Fishing
Garfish are the species to focus on because Winter is when the water drops below 15c and this location is no different. Fish can be slower to bite with reduced activity levels. As always what you catch varies with the prevalent temperature trends, localised weather and of course tides.
Spring Fishing
Spring sees the water temperature begin to rise with Garfish becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as King George Whiting, Flathead, Pinkie Snapper, Australian Salmon and Squid begin to move into the area and can become more common at the location.
McCRae Rock Wall Fishing
Well known for its King George Whiting catches it has a rich environment consisting of sea grasses and large patches of sandy bottom. This tends to attract a lot of prey species which the Whiting of course come in to eat. It is a shallow area so its best fished at High Tide. Sunset and evening are best.
Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at McCRae Rock Wall, today?
No. Because a forecast cannot truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report derived species history.
