Best window today
Outside the window right now. Next high water 08:45. 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.
Wind and sea
Portrane faces E. A WNW wind is blowing off the land, cleaner wave faces but anything floating is pushed out to sea.

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