    Make sure you go out on a run in tide & if you can ....... come back on the run in (less critical - but best)

    The best conditions are near high tide, no wind and no swell, but, of course these times/conditions do not always fit your boating schedule.

    I suspect Macca maybe is looking more info around wind direction and swell. I can't say as never go out the Seaway, the Bribie Bar is usually good on a SE wind and swell and gets chopped up in a NE, the Seaway could be the opposite.
    One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.

    Over floated round the mouth of it a number of times (with the engine in idle) throwing lures. I think conditions have to be fairly bad before it’s a problem. It’s a fairly deep bar so there’s no breaking waves.
