Is it a beach day?

0
Not a beach day · 0 out of 10 No good beach time today.
  • Low tide at 11:32 am: more sand
  • Cloudy (100% cloud cover)
  • Feels like 54 °F: chilly for the beach
  • Rain (0.04 in)
  • Moderate onshore wind (14 mph): choppy water
  • Dangerous for swimming: 12 ft waves every 10 s; high rip current risk

Dangerous surf during beach hours. Stay out if the red flag is up, and never swim where there is no lifeguard.

Today, hour by hour

  • Swimming Dangerous · 12 ft

    12 ft waves every 10 s: dangerous for swimming. Stay out if the red flag is up. High rip current risk. If you're caught in a rip current, don't swim against it: swim parallel to shore and wave for help. Always follow the lifeguard's flags.

  • Water 54 °F

    Very cold: ease in and keep swims short.

  • Sun & sunscreen UV 1 · SPF 15

    Max UV 1 (low): SPF 15 sunscreen.

  • Wind 14 mph

    Moderate onshore wind (14 mph).

  • Tide & sand 11:49 pm

    Low tide at 11:32 am and 11:49 pm: that's when there's the most sand. High tide at 5:29 am and 5:54 pm. Coefficient 96 (spring tides): little sand left at high tide.

The EPA Ireland (beaches.ie) issues its bathing notices in season, from 1 June to 15 September; none are in force now. We don't have data on jellyfish or sargassum: ask the lifeguard or check the flags. How it works · The next 7 days

Tide coefficient 96 for the 5:29 am high tide and 93 for the 5:54 pm high tide. Spring tides. The water rises and falls 10.3 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 28 (11.9 ft) and the lowest, on March 20 (0.6 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 26 to 28 (coefficient 97, 10.3 ft range). The smallest, on October 19 (coefficient 32, 3.6 ft).

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Barley Cove has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Castletownbere Port (TICON-4), 14 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Barley Cove

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: rough

Rough Douglas 5 · fresh breeze, Beaufort 5
Waves 8.4 ft · 8.7 s from the west-southwest (247°)
Swell 7.7 ft · 8.0 s from the west-southwest
Current 1.0 mph toward the NNW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common4.2 ft
  • Significant8.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest17 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 17 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 17 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 13 mph S · gusts 20

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 15 ft with a period of 11 s, from the west-southwest (very rough).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 10:40 am to 1:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 2:50 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, though with tidal current, a big swell and current. Also worth a look from 6:50 am to 9:40 am, with weak current, though with tidal current, a big swell and moderate wind.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 1:03–3:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:34–3:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:26–11:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:36–6:36 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Drops off fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 220 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 2 mi.

From the shoreline out to sea, heading south.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep110 ft
  • 33 ft deep220 ft
  • 66 ft deep480 ft
  • 164 ft deep2 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 50 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 220 ft and 66 ft at 480 ft from shore.

Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
