east coast tides

#1 Post by iascnushfish »

just wondering where abouts on the east coast the tide changes.
i know from dundalk to wicklow town is fairly similar and
then arklow is quite different. just wondering does it change north of arklow
and if so where :wink:

Irish Sea tides

#3 Post by kieran »

Hi

Easytide from the UK hodrographic office is free and excellent...

[url]easytide.ukho.gov.uk[/url]

South Leinster features an amphidromic area, basically the tides sweeping up around the South Atlantic get cancelled out by the tides sweeping down from the Irish Sea and as a consequence the tides can be well very weird.
You can have four tides in a five hour match there, with the sea rising and droping back no more than a metre on occasion...

HTH...

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
