Rock fishing is Australia's most dangerous recreational sport.

磯釣是澳洲最危險
的休閒運動。

Since 2004, more than 170 anglers have lost their lives on NSW rock platforms. Almost all were not wearing a lifejacket. The ocean does not give second chances — gear up, plan your fish, and respect the wash.

自 2004 年以來,已有超過 170 位釣友在新南威爾斯州的礁台上喪生,幾乎全數未穿著救生衣。海洋不會給你第二次機會 — 裝備齊全、規劃路線、敬畏浪湧。

Safe Rock Fishing. Safe Return Home.·安全磯釣,平安回家。

Good preparation starts before the berley bucket: choose a safe fishing platform first, then prepare and deploy your burley responsibly. Our forecasts support trip planning, but they do not replace checking live conditions on the day, official warnings, or your own judgement.

良好的準備始於誘餌桶之前:先選擇安全的釣台,再負責任地準備及投放誘餌。本預測僅輔助行程規劃,不能取代當日實地觀察、官方警告或個人判斷。

Wear a lifejacket

An approved Level 50S+ inflatable PFD is mandatory at many NSW rock fishing locations and is your single best survival tool.

穿著救生衣

經認證的 Level 50S+ 充氣式救生衣(PFD)在新南威爾斯州多個磯釣地點屬強制裝備,是你最重要的求生工具。

Wear cleats or rock boots

Wet rock platforms are lethally slippery. Tungsten cleats, felt soles or dedicated rock boots are essential — never sneakers or thongs.

穿著釘鞋或磯釣鞋

潮濕的礁石極為濕滑且致命。鎢鋼釘鞋、毛氈底或專用磯釣鞋是必備裝備 — 切勿穿球鞋或拖鞋。

Never fish alone

Always fish with a buddy. Tell someone on shore where you'll be and when you expect to return.

切勿獨自垂釣

務必結伴同行,並告知岸上的人你的位置及預計回程時間。

Watch the ocean for 20 minutes

Before stepping onto a ledge, observe a full wave set. If a wave reaches your spot, do not fish there.

先觀察海況 20 分鐘

踏上釣台前,先觀察完整的浪組。若有浪可達到你的位置,請勿在該處垂釣。

Know your escape route

Plan how you'll get off the ledge before you start fishing. Pack light so you can move fast.

規劃撤退路線

開釣前先想好如何離開礁台。輕裝出行,遇險時可迅速撤離。

Carry a means of communication

Phone in a waterproof pouch, PLB or marine radio. In an emergency call 000 and ask for Marine Rescue.

攜帶通訊裝備

防水袋裝手機、個人定位信標(PLB)或海事無線電。緊急時撥打 000 並要求海上救援(Marine Rescue)。

In an emergency

Call 000 and ask for Marine Rescue. Stay with the casualty if safe to do so. Throw flotation, do not jump in.

緊急情況

請撥打 000,並要求 海上救援(Marine Rescue)。在安全的前提下陪伴傷者,丟下漂浮物,切勿跳入水中。

Reading tide, swell, period, and wind & swell direction

如何看懂潮水、湧浪、浪週期、風向與浪向

Rock fishing safety is never about wave height alone — four factors must be judged together: tide, swell height, swell period, and wind & swell direction.

磯釣安全不能只看浪高,而是要同時判斷四個因素:潮水、湧浪高度、浪週期、風向與浪向。

1. Tide

1. 潮水

The tide is the change in sea level over the day.

潮水是海面高度的變化。

  • Rising tide — rock gradually covered, waves reach the platform more easily, risk increases.漲潮——礁石逐漸被海水覆蓋,海浪更容易打上平台,危險增加。
  • Falling tide — more rock exposed, usually safer, but still watch the swell and wave sets.退潮——礁石露出較多,通常較安全,但仍須注意湧浪與浪組。

Many accidents happen on the way up to high tide, not at high tide itself.

很多意外都發生在漲潮途中,而不是滿潮。

2. Swell Height

2. 湧浪高度

Swell is generated by distant storms and travels hundreds or thousands of kilometres.

湧浪是由遠方風暴形成,傳播數百甚至數千公里而來的海浪。

  • 0.8 m — usually settled.0.8 m → 通常較平穩。
  • 1.5 m — raise your guard.1.5 m → 已需提高警覺。
  • 2.5 m+ — most rock platforms are already very dangerous.2.5 m↑ → 多數磯場已非常危險。

The higher the swell, the greater the energy.

浪越高,能量越大。

3. Swell Period

3. 浪週期

Period (seconds) is the time between two wave crests. Most people only read swell height and ignore period — but at the same height, a longer period carries far more energy.

週期(秒)代表兩個浪峰之間相隔的時間。很多人只看浪高,卻忽略了週期。事實上,相同浪高,週期越長,海浪能量越強。

  • 1.5 m @ 7 s — lower energy, short choppy waves.1.5 m @ 7 秒——能量較小,浪較短、較碎。
  • 1.5 m @ 15 s — much more energy, pushes far further up the rock, far more likely to produce a sneaker wave.1.5 m @ 15 秒——能量大幅增加,浪推得更遠,更容易衝上礁石,更容易出現「瘋狗浪(Sneaker Wave)」。
  • 6–8 s — short period, low energy.6–8 秒——短週期,能量較低。
  • 9–11 s — medium period, start paying attention.9–11 秒——中等週期,開始需要注意。
  • 12–14 s — long period; dangerous even when the height looks small.12–14 秒——長週期,即使浪高不大,也可能非常危險。
  • 15 s+ — very long period, high alert. Many rock accidents happen in these conditions.15 秒以上——非常長週期,高度警戒,許多岩礁事故都發生在這類海況。

NRFSA reminder: "1.5 m @ 16 s" often deserves more caution than "2.0 m @ 8 s".

NRFSA 提醒:「1.5 m @ 16 秒」往往比「2.0 m @ 8 秒」更值得提高警覺。

Date / time日期時間

Empty = current time. Marine data covers ~7 days back and 7 days ahead.留空=使用目前時間;可查詢前後約七天。

Location釣場名稱
Swell Hs浪高1.5 m

Close to the edge of safe — watch every set·接近安全邊緣 — 注意每一組浪

Wave reach = tide + swell height + run-up, and run-up grows with period. A 1.5 m swell at 15 s on a high tide can reach further up a 3 m ledge than a 2.5 m swell at 7 s.浪到達的高度 = 潮高 + 浪高 + 爬升;週期越長,爬升越高。滿潮時 1.5 米、15 秒的長浪, 可能比 2.5 米、7 秒的短浪爬得更上 3 米高的磯台。

4. Wind & Swell Direction

4. 風向與浪向

Wind direction is where the wind blows from; swell direction is where the waves come from. Together they decide how the sea behaves at your ledge.

風向是風從哪裡吹來;浪向是海浪從哪裡過來。兩者一起決定釣點海面的真實狀況。

  • Onshore wind — messier seas, waves pushed harder onto the shore.迎岸風(Onshore)——海浪更亂,更容易把浪推向岸邊。
  • Offshore wind — the surface may look flat, but that does not mean safe: the swell underneath can still be huge.離岸風(Offshore)——海面可能較平,但不代表安全,湧浪仍可能非常巨大。
  • If your ledge faces straight into the swell, waves hit the rock directly.如果你的釣點正對浪向,海浪會直接衝擊礁石。
  • Headlands, islands or coastline can shelter a spot, so the same swell height can feel completely different.岬角、島嶼或海岸地形可以遮蔽釣點,即使同樣浪高,實際海況可能完全不同。

NRFSA safety mantra

NRFSA 安全口訣

  • Read the tide — know whether the water will cover your ledge.看潮,知道海水會不會淹上來。
  • Read the swell — know how big the waves are.看浪,知道海浪有多高。
  • Read the period — know how much energy those waves carry.看週期,知道海浪有多大的能量。
  • Read wind and swell direction — know whether the sea will get worse and whether the swell hits your spot head-on.看風向與浪向,知道海面會否惡化,以及浪會不會直接打向你的釣位。

NRFSA reminder: there is no absolutely safe number. What matters is reading tide, swell height, period, and wind & swell direction together, then combining that with what you actually see on the ledge before you make a decision.

NRFSA 提醒:海浪沒有絕對安全的數字。真正重要的是將「潮水、浪高、浪週期、風向與浪向」四項資訊一起判讀,再結合現場觀察,才能做出正確的安全決策。
