Where this tide comes from
Courtmacsherry has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Kinsale (Marine Institute), 12 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.

The sea at Courtmacsherry
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.1 ft
- Significant4.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 7.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf today

- 2.6 ft swell at 7 s from the southwest, short: weak, messy waves

- Falling tide (low tide at 1:01 pm)
- Light: First light 6:48 am · sunrise 7:23 am · sunset 5:13 pm · last light 5:48 pm
- Tide: low 12:39 am (1.1 ft), high 6:42 am (12.6 ft), low 1:01 pm (1.3 ft) and high 7:04 pm (12.2 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 54.5 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 74 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:48 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 6:57 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with waves 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:02–4:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:40 am–12:40 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:27–7:27 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 550 ft): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
