If no much rain, I'd say north end of PPB.
No dirty cold freshwater flush, the water temp 1-2 degrees warmer than the southern end. The resident snapper be on fire.
Random prediction that it.

2017 top of PPB was the place to be, 2018 seemed to be top of WPB

I'll be keeping a close eye on these over the next month http://www.baywx.com.au/temps.html, http://www.baywx.com.au/westtemps.html
