Where this tide comes from
Ballintoy Harbour has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Portrush (Environment Agency), 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.
Station data attribution: This uses Environment Agency tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta): Portrush (E73924), https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations/E73924. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/). Modified: harmonic constants fitted by TidePlanet from the 15-minute sea levels of 2025-10-29 to 2026-10-22 (356 days).

Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.5 ft
- Significant7.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
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.

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

Surf in Ballintoy Harbour today
Surf today
Good- 5.6–8.7 ft surf at the shore, big
- Big surf (8.7 ft): for experienced surfers
- 8.3 ft swell at 9 s from the northwest, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (10 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 7:50 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 6:43 am · sunrise 7:22 am · sunset 4:56 pm · last light 5:34 pm
- Tide: low 1:02 am (0.7 ft), high 7:23 am (5.8 ft), low 1:30 pm (0.8 ft) and high 7:50 pm (5.8 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 55.0 °F: a 5/4 fullsuit with booties (and a hood if it’s windy).
- Energy: 944 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 3:00 pm to 5:34 pm, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with big surf. 8:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, though with big surf.
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.

Diving in Ballintoy Harbour today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (7:23 am): little current from 7:08 am to 7:38 am
- Some tidal current
- 9.5 ft swell at 9 s from the northwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (10 mph)
- 2.6 mph current toward the east, strong (model)
- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 1:02 am (12:47–1:17 am), high tide 7:23 am (7:08–7:38 am), low tide 1:30 pm (1:15–1:45 pm) and high tide 7:50 pm (7:35–8:05 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 12 ft at 10 s) and wind over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 55.0 °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 5:34 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 5:22 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 6:40 am to 9:40 am, combines slack water at high tide and light wind, though with tidal current, a big swell and current.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,451 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 12:48–2:48 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:20–3:20 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:41–11:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:52–5:52 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 1,150 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.4 mi.

- 66 ft deep0.35 mi
- 164 ft deep1.4 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 14 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 1,150 ft and 66 ft at 0.35 mi from shore.
Right by the shore the bottom may drop even faster than shown.
