North Mole closures

The gates to North Mole are closed when certain dangerous conditions prevail — that is, when there is a high swell and strong north-westerly winds.

Fremantle Ports makes the judgment to close the gates based on whether it looks safe for the public. Basically, if it looks dangerous for fishers and other members of the public, the mole is closed. The decision is not based on whether the swell is a certain height or whether the wind is a certain speed.

During business hours, a notice is placed on the homepage of this website when North Mole is closed and when it is re-opened.

Please note that if you are thinking about fishing at North Mole and the weather conditions include a high swell and strong north-westerly winds causing dangerous conditions for fishers on the mole, the mole gates will probably be shut.
