Best window today
Outside the window right now. Next high water 14:35. 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
Youghal faces SE. 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 Youghal today?
Today's times are at the top of this page, taken from the Ballycotton station 17 km away. There are two high waters roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes, and local times at Youghal differ from the station by a few minutes.
Is there an official tide station at Youghal?
No. The Marine Institute does not predict for Youghal directly. The nearest official station is Ballycotton, 17 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 Youghal?
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 Youghal face?
Youghal faces SE, so a wind from that direction is onshore and a wind from the opposite side is offshore.
