What’s the best time of year for dolphin watching in the Sutherland Shire?

The best time for dolphin watching here is typically during the warmer months, from late spring through early autumn. This is when the water temperatures rise, and dolphins are more active and visible. • During these months, particularly from November to March, you'll find them frolicking in the waves and often closer to the shore as they hunt for food, making it a perfect time for spotting. • However, dolphins can be seen year-round, so if you're visiting outside of peak season, don't lose hope! Early mornings and late afternoons are still the best times to catch a glimpse of these playful creatures.
