Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Dunmoran Strand. These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Sligo, the nearest official station, 17 km away. Times at Dunmoran 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.

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.

Dunmoran Strand tide questions

What time is high tide at Dunmoran Strand today?
Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Sligo station 17 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Dunmoran Strand differ from the station by a few minutes.
Is there an official tide station at Dunmoran Strand?
No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Dunmoran Strand directly. The nearest official station is Sligo, 17 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 Dunmoran 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 Dunmoran Strand face?
Dunmoran Strand faces WNW, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
