Question about tides!

I was just looking at the north wall tides info there, just want to clarify something as I am seeing conflicting times..

For today - thursday 28th May we have;

02:59 4.2M
08:49 .5M
15:38 3.8M
21:06 .9M

are these accurate? do we need to adjust the hour for GMT?

If I want to calculate tides for dun laoaghire or dalkey, wil they be much the same or do I need to add / subtract an hour or so??

thanks guys

Jimmy

Hi, Generally all tides are quoted as GMT, so during summer time, add 1 hour, But, if its a local tide table booklet, they may well have added that hour, it should state this on the document you got the info on.
"Easytide. ukho.gov.uk "is a great free way to check out the tide times round ireland for up to seven days in advance, they are GMT times , but you can click a box and add the hour

the tide table you are using is bang on time low 21.06. no need to adjust.

Dunlaoghaire is about 10 minutes before 20.55

Thanks dudes! That's good to know! Is it generally a better time to catch mack and the like when the tide is in?

Hi Jimmy

I use to fish a lot for mackeral in Dun Laoghaire when I was younger and always found an hour before high tide the best.
I was down in Colimore myself on Sunday about 5pm and got nothing. Down there again this morning for 1 hour nothing again (it was bloody freezin). Both times where the dropping tide so I think I'll take my own advice the next time.

thanks tommy! Yeah, that makes sense! I will be there meself tomorrow I reckon...bout an hour before high tide...and yeah....it does get __ cold out there!

i use http://www.sailing.ie/inside/default.asp?pageId=506 for tides,i found easy tide gave wrong times for galway before,out by 2 hours,this web site gives Dublin tides as well
