Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Clonea Strand.
These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Dungarvan, the nearest
official station, 4 km away. Times at Clonea Strand will differ by a few minutes. We do not invent a local
correction, because a made up offset is worse than a stated approximation.

Clonea Strand tide questions
- What time is high tide at Clonea Strand today?
- Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Dungarvan station 4 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Clonea Strand differ from the station by a few minutes.
- Is there an official tide station at Clonea Strand?
- No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Clonea Strand directly. The nearest official station is Dungarvan, 4 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 Clonea Strand?
- 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 Clonea Strand face?
- Clonea Strand faces S, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
