Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Dollymount Strand. These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Dublin, the nearest official station, 6 km away. Times at Dollymount 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.

You are inside the window now. Next high water 13:15.

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.

Dollymount Strand tide questions

What time is high tide at Dollymount Strand today?
Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Dublin station 6 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Dollymount Strand differ from the station by a few minutes.
Is there an official tide station at Dollymount Strand?
No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Dollymount Strand directly. The nearest official station is Dublin, 6 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 Dollymount 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 Dollymount Strand face?
Dollymount Strand faces E, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
