At a slip, steps or pier the usable window is roughly two hours either side of high water. On a shallow strand you need mid to high water. How we work this out.
Wind and sea now
Cross-shore. The shore at Arklow faces E, so a SW wind is blowing along the beach, expect a lateral drift.
Wind from DWD ICON via Open-Meteo. Sea temperature and wave height are modelled at about 8 km resolution, so treat inshore values as a guide.
