Questions
What time is high tide at Garretstown today?
Today's times are at the top of this page, taken from the Kinsale station 10 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Garretstown differ from the station by a few minutes.
Is there an official tide station at Garretstown?
No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Garretstown directly. The nearest official station is Kinsale, 10 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 Garretstown?
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.
