Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Enniscrone.
These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Sligo, the nearest
official station, 36 km away. Times at Enniscrone will differ by a few minutes. We do not invent a local
correction, because a made up offset is worse than a stated approximation.

Enniscrone tide questions
- What time is high tide at Enniscrone today?
- Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Sligo station 36 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Enniscrone differ from the station by a few minutes.
- Is there an official tide station at Enniscrone?
- No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Enniscrone directly. The nearest official station is Sligo, 36 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 Enniscrone?
- 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 Enniscrone face?
- Enniscrone faces WNW, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
