Today's Tides
Current Tide At Middle Spit Channel Entrance
The tide is currently falling
Current Tide Explanation
The tide is falling across Western Port as outgoing water reduces depth across its flats and shoreline areas.
Fish may move from draining flats and shallow edges towards channels, drop-offs and areas carrying food with the outgoing flow.
Strong tidal currents can occur in Western Port, while falling water may expose mudflats and restrict some shallow-water access. Check local conditions before fishing or boating.

Interpretation
Pressure trend is still building from recent samples. Current pressure is available, but there needs to be more readings before it can be interpreted.
Pressure is only one signal. Wind, tide, solunar timing, water movement, and local structure still matter.
Pressure movement
Recent readings build the pressure trend used for interpretation.

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: moderate
Water: cold
Current marine conditions suggest a fairly manageable sea state.
Marine caution
Moderate waves call for more margin, particularly in open or exposed water and smaller craft. 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 13.05 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 12.6 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.
