Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Bundoran.
These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Killybegs, the nearest
official station, 19 km away. Times at Bundoran will differ by a few minutes. We do not invent a local
correction, because a made up offset is worse than a stated approximation.

Outside the window right now. Next high water 19:40.
This is a shallow shelving strand, so the sea moves a long way. The usable window runs from about three hours before high water to an hour and a half after.

Onshore. Bundoran faces WSW, so a WSW wind is blowing in off the sea, choppier water and easier entry drift toward the beach.

Bundoran tide questions
- What time is high tide at Bundoran today?
- Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Killybegs station 19 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Bundoran differ from the station by a few minutes.
- Is there an official tide station at Bundoran?
- No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Bundoran directly. The nearest official station is Killybegs, 19 km away, and that is what these times come from. We do not apply an invented local correction.
- What is the best tide for swimming at Bundoran?
- This is a shallow shelving strand, so the sea moves a long way. The usable window runs from about three hours before high water to an hour and a half after.
- Which way does Bundoran face?
- Bundoran faces WSW, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
