the tidal run is normally strongest two hours up to hw and two hours after slack into the drop,sometimes on wex beaches you can have two high tides in a 6 hour period its to do with the water flowing around the north into the irish sea and meeting the flow coming round from the south around cork they kinda bang off each other if you get my DRIFT :mrgreen: also on smaller tides you might not notice any run ,if its smoothies your after the bigger tides seem to be producing better and keeping those pesky dogfish off your crab :twisted:
