Fishing and tide times for:

Gold Coast 🇦🇺

Timezone: Australia/Brisbane
Local Time: Sat, 21 Dec 13:25
Coordinates: -28 ,153.431
Tidestation:
Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at 11:44. Today we have 13:57 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.

All times are displayed in the Australia/Brisbane timezone and are automatically adjusted to daylight savings. The current timezone offset is +10 hours. Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides. The center shows the current moon phase which is a Third Quarter Moon at 67% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a poor day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -3 hour and -11 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

Tide Coefficient at 01:05 is 26
Tide Coefficient at 13:24 is 81
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.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Gold Coast 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 18 beaches and bays in this area.

Surfers Paradise Beach - 0km , Budds Beach - 1km , Main Beach - 2km , Kurrawa Beach - 3km , Broadbeach - 3km , Pelican Beach - 3km , Mermaid Beach - 5km , Nobby Beach - 7km , Moondarewa Bay - 8km , Miami Beach - 8km , Burleigh Beach - 10km , Tallebudgera Beach - 12km , Pacific Beach - 13km , Palm Beach - 14km , Currumbin Beach - 16km , Tugun Beach - 17km , Bilinga Beach - 19km , North Kirra Beach - 20km

Hi Guys Really great website. I'm a geriatric fishing guy not as able as I once was so trudging into sandy beaches is a bit tough. So the last few times I went to my local beach, Currumbin Beach, has been totally disappointing. Is this a season thing or does it pick up a bit in the warmer weather. Cheers Alan H

Hi Alan, yeah, winter is usually not the greatest time for fishing. Perhaps it will improve over Spring and early summer. For beach fishing the best days are when the minor or major times are around sunrise and sunset. Fishing during the day is usually not very productive on shallow beaches.
