Small tidal stream inaccuracies can develop when advancing beyond HW Dover +6. Because of this we only enable today's tidal stream chartlets to advance 24 hours. Future tidal planning is best accomplished by using Dún Laoghaire Harbour's future tides predictor below.
The above image represents the current tidal streams offshore of this haven. Streams attaining three knots and above are highlighted by red arrows
Do you need more information on the tidal graphics?
Arrows represent the direction of tidal streams with lighter or shorter arrows indicating weaker streams. Stronger streams are indicated by heavier or longer arrows, and as mentioned above, red arrows flagging rates of 3 knots and above. Numerals represent [mean neap, mean spring] rates in tenths of a knot. For example the numbers 12,23 would indicate a mean neap of 1.2 knots and a mean spring of 2.3 knots.

Tides in the Irish Sea near Dublin broadly follow the main Irish Sea streams which are:
Tide runs south in the entire southern Irish Sea from HW Dover for six hours
Tide runs north in the entire southern Irish Sea from LW Dover for six hours
Except:
The tide turns about one hour earlier at Dalkey Sound. So, southbound vessels wishing to make use of the south going ebb down the Irish Sea, local boats leave Dun Laoghaire at HW Dover -1:30 and can then expect almost 7 hours of fair tide which will take them to Arklow and beyond.
This also means a fair tide passing Bray Head, Wicklow Head and Mizen Head which all have stronger tidal streams.

This tool can be used to estimate future costal tidal streams for this area. All that is required are two simple steps:
Step 1: What is the Dover High Water for the target date?
Use a current Dover Tide Table to find Dover High Water for the target date. The National Oceanography Centre offers online tidal predictions for up to 28 days from today. Click here to open their tide table for Dover

Step 2: Input the target date's Dover High Water
Taking a mean tidal offset from Dover's tide, we expect your targetted date's associated local tide at to be:
High waters: Low waters:
Data based on an average tide is only accurate to within one hour, if you more precise times are required use the ISA tidal predictions, with Dublin (North Wall) offset -01:00.
