Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Garryvoe.
These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Ballycotton, the nearest
official station, 2 km away. Times at Garryvoe will differ by a few minutes. We do not invent a local
correction, because a made up offset is worse than a stated approximation.

Garryvoe tide questions
- What time is high tide at Garryvoe today?
- Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Ballycotton station 2 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Garryvoe differ from the station by a few minutes.
- Is there an official tide station at Garryvoe?
- No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Garryvoe directly. The nearest official station is Ballycotton, 2 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 Garryvoe?
- 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 Garryvoe face?
- Garryvoe faces S, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
