Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Dun Laoghaire.
These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Dublin, the nearest
official station, 8 km away. Times at Dun Laoghaire will differ by a few minutes. We do not invent a local
correction, because a made up offset is worse than a stated approximation.

Dun Laoghaire tide questions
- What time is high tide at Dun Laoghaire today?
- Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Dublin station 8 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Dun Laoghaire differ from the station by a few minutes.
- Is there an official tide station at Dun Laoghaire?
- No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Dun Laoghaire directly. The nearest official station is Dublin, 8 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 Dun Laoghaire?
- This is a slip, steps or pier entry, so depth arrives with the tide. The usable window is roughly two hours either side of high water.
- Which way does Dun Laoghaire face?
- Dun Laoghaire faces E, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
