Where this tide comes from
Newtown Cunningham has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Buncrana (Marine Institute), 9.3 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:40 am, combines slack water at high tide and light wind. Also worth a look from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, with slack water at low tide, little swell and the sun high, though with 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.

The moon in Newtown Cunningham
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:57–3:57 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:29–4:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:05–1:05 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 5:53–6:53 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,250 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1.8 mi from Newtown Cunningham) out to sea, heading north.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep900 ft
- 33 ft deep1,250 ft
- 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,250 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. 33 ft deep 1,250 ft from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. The profile is turned slightly from the coast so it does not run into an island or a headland. Where the bottom comes up to the surface there are shoals, rocks or an islet next to the profile.
