Where these times come from. There is no official tide station at Kilkee.
These are the Marine Institute's predictions for Carrigaholt, the nearest
official station, 10 km away. Times at Kilkee 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 18:40.

Onshore. Kilkee faces W, so a WSW wind is blowing in off the sea, choppier water and easier entry drift toward the beach.

Kilkee tide questions
- What time is high tide at Kilkee today?
- Today's high water times are shown at the top of this page, taken from the Carrigaholt station 10 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Kilkee differ from the station by a few minutes.
- Is there an official tide station at Kilkee?
- No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Kilkee directly. The nearest official station is Carrigaholt, 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 Kilkee?
- 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 Kilkee face?
- Kilkee faces W, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
