Best window today
Outside the window right now. Next high water 15:20. 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
Strandhill faces W. A NW wind is blowing in off the sea, choppier water and easier entry drift toward the beach.

Questions
What time is high tide at Strandhill today?
Today's times are at the top of this page, taken from the Sligo station 5 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Strandhill differ from the station by a few minutes.
Is there an official tide station at Strandhill?
No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Strandhill directly. The nearest official station is Sligo, 5 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 Strandhill?
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 Strandhill face?
Strandhill faces W, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
