Surf Coast Fishing Times, Locations & Reports
The forecast for Surf Coast is average today, so timing your fishing to the major and minor periods matters more. The major period, indicating the moon is overhead, suggests a possible increase in fish feeding activity during this key period. Drizzle may slightly improve feeding. Especially during solunar bite periods.

7 Day Solunar Forecast
Surf Coast Fishing Times: This Week's Planner
Compare daily bite activity, major fish feeding times and moon conditions to help plan upcoming fishing sessions.
Wind
Current wind and 7 day outlook

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.
Pressure
Barometric pressure
Pressure is most useful for fishing when it shows movement. A stable, rising, or falling trend can add context to the rest of today’s fishing forecast.

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.
Pressure movement
Recent readings build the pressure trend used for interpretation.
