Hazards

Cardy Rocks off Braymore Point to the North of Balbriggan harbour dry at LW and are marked by a prominent PHM. Ben Head Firing Range centred on Gormanston, NW of Balbriggan, flies red flags at Braymore Point when active and works on a clear range principle. Forecasts of firing are issued in Notices to Mariners and Dublin CG will also know, but if on passage you are entitled to transit the area but should do so expeditiously.

HW is HW Dublin – 0020, LW is LW Dublin + 0005; MHWS 4.4m MHWN 3.6 no data for LW, it dries throughout.

UPDATE OCTOBER 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 18th Oct 2022
No changes
UPDATE SUMMER 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 17th Aug 2021
I reviewed these notes i August 2021. Lots of promises for regeneration but no mention of the harbour so no changes
Update Summer 2019
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 11th Jul 2019
These notes were reviewed in July 2019. There are no changes here. Although local government has allocated a large amount of money and is making a lot of noise about regeneration it would appear that the harbour infrastructure will not be changed in the near future.
UPDATE APRIL 2017

Update 2015
Written by dononshytalk | 10th Apr 2015
These notes were reviewed by Don in April 2015. No changes were made and, as the Berthing Master told us "Nothing has changed here in a hundred years"
Update November 2013
Written by dononshytalk | 20th Nov 2013
Updated 20th November 2013. They still haven't set any harbour dues for visiting boats so you'd still get away with it.
