What's the time difference for the tides at buffalo creek, compared to the harbour ??

depends on tide size but 2-3 hrs as a rule

Its not so much that the time is different rather the incoming tide has no effect below 3.5 m which is generally the case throughout the Shoal bay creeks.

No worries cheers

Don't want to steal this thread but was going to head up to buffalo creek on wed or thur for the first time, not quite game enough to head outside but was wondering if I can fish in the creek with the small tides? Doesn't drain out?

That is a pretty good way to describe it.
