Outside the window right now. Next high water 14:40. 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.
Wind and sea
Salthill faces SSW. A NW wind is blowing along the beach, expect a lateral drift.

Questions
What time is high tide at Salthill today?
Today's times are at the top of this page, taken from the Galway station 3 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Salthill differ from the station by a few minutes.
Is there an official tide station at Salthill?
No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Salthill directly. The nearest official station is Galway, 3 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 Salthill?
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 Salthill face?
Salthill faces SSW, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
