Where this tide comes from
Inishcrone has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Sligo (Marine Institute), 22 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 Inishcrone
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.6 ft
- Significant5.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest10 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 10 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 10 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 5.8 ft with a period of 9 s, from the northwest (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 54.2 °F by Wednesday 4.

Surf in Inishcrone today
Surf today
Good- 2.9–4.4 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 3.6 ft swell at 8 s from the northwest, a bit short
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 1:31 pm)
- Light: First light 6:54 am · sunrise 7:32 am · sunset 5:08 pm · last light 5:45 pm
- Tide: low 1:00 am (2.1 ft), high 7:30 am (13.5 ft), low 1:31 pm (2.4 ft) and high 7:55 pm (12.7 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 55.8 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 160 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm also works, with a good size and light offshore 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.
Diving in Inishcrone today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (7:30 am): little current from 7:00 am to 7:50 am
- 3.6 ft swell at 8 s from the northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate offshore wind (16 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.2 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Daylight
- Slack water today: low tide 1:00 am (12:40–1:20 am), high tide 7:30 am (7:00–7:50 am), low tide 1:31 pm (1:10–1:50 pm) and high tide 7:55 pm (7:30–8:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 9.5 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 55.8 °F: a 7 mm semi-dry suit, with hood, gloves and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 5:45 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 6:37 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 8:20 am, combines slack water at high tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and fresh 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 Inishcrone
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 2:03–4:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:36–4:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 12:04–1:04 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:07–7:07 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 0.8 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
- Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
- Diving. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.2 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
