Rules & Regulations

5kts in fairway and 4kts in the marina

Hazards

There are sandbanks to Port and Starboard and a bar at the entrance so take advice from the marina on depths in the channel. Tide runs strongly through the marina. Tide in the fairway can reach 3.5kts so, with onshore winds and an ebb tide, there can be a fierce chop at the entrance.

Tidal Data Times & Range

HW is Dublin +0005; MHWS 4.2m MHWN 3.2m MLWN 2.1m MLWS 0.5m; Outside the inlet the tides run north/south at up to 1knot, north from half an hour before LW Dublin and South from half an hour before HW. In the fairway they run in/out as one would expect with the local HW/LW but, because of the lagoon inland of the marina, there’s quite a lot of water involved and the streams can reach up to 3.5 knots.

No changes - not even in the visiting boat tariff.

I reviewed these notes in September 2021. Having changed my mistake about the tidal streams in June there were no other changes to make.

Tidal streams outside the Malahide estuary

Apologies Salty!! I have corrected the text although I can't for the life of me work out where I got that info. I'm a little worried that there might be an inshore counter current in the bay but can find no evidence of it.

Tidal Direction

Written by Salty Hamster | 6th Jun 2021

I understand tides to run south from half an hour before high water and north from half an hour before low water - not as is written above.

I've been wrong before though!
