Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
October in Noosa Heads is spring fishing at its best. On the beaches, expect good runs of tailor and dart in the deeper gutters of Noosa North Shore, especially on a dawn high tide with a light NE breeze. Pilchards and metal slugs are doing damage. In the Noosa River, flathead are active on the sand banks from the river mouth to Tewantin, with 2.5–4 inch soft plastics and small hardbodies working well on a run-out tide.
Woods Bay and the Sound are producing trevally at first light on surface lures and lightly weighted plastics, while whiting are taking beach worms and yabbies along the frying-pan flats. As water temps climb, expect the first stirrings of mangrove jack tight to structure after sunset. Offshore, when swell and wind allow, Sunshine and Halls reefs are yielding snapper and grass sweetlip on pilchards and 5–7 inch plastics, best around dawn and dusk.
Top tip: Work the last hour of the run-in to the first hour of the run-out; baitfish push in with the tide, and predators pin them on the edges as the current turns.
Best Fishing Spots in the greater Noosa Heads 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 17 beaches and bays in this area.
