Best window today
Outside the window right now. Next high water 15:00. 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
Westport 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 Westport today?
Today's times are at the top of this page, taken from the Roonagh station 26 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Westport differ from the station by a few minutes.
Is there an official tide station at Westport?
No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Westport directly. The nearest official station is Roonagh, 26 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 Westport?
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 Westport face?
Westport faces W, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
