It's my local ramp, if ETD or ETR is around low tide I drive the extra 40 mins to scarby.

checked tide heights to hopefully be able to say should be OK, but no lows are too low. The ramp & river are OK, its the entrance where you will likely shine up the skeg.

I noticed they had finally moved the leads when i was out there a couple of months ago.

There was about 40-50cm of water on dead low when we went through the day after Australia day.

Maybe we should all be practicing for the 1770 entrance 😂
Before we go there.....

Don't go out through the entrance 2 hours either side of low tide. I did about 3 weeks ago and was a very unnerving experience. It was breaking right the way across and so had to slow down lift the motor and got smashed. Thought I wasn't going to make it there at one stage getting pushed sideways. There was an out going tide mixed with a 25knot Northerly. Was actually like a proper bar crossing.
