On the water, the light runs the day. First light is when you can start to see the channel; the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset is the soft golden light anglers and photographers wait for; and last light is your deadline to be back on the mooring. The times on this page are calculated for Port MacKenzie’s exact position and follow the local clock, daylight saving included.

Plan an early start against first light, line up the evening bite with the golden hour and sunset, and cross-check the Port MacKenzie tide chart and marine forecast before you head out.
