    Hi All,

    i thought this would be the best forum on which to post a question on sea tides.

    Generally, what is the gap in hours between high and low tides? Also, for example, if there is a high tide at 10am today, what time is the high tide tomorrow? is it 1-2 hours later?

    Is this the same, regardless of where you are in Ireland, or aborad?

    thanks

    It's generally about six hours from high to low tide or vice versa.

    tides go back around 45 mins a day,
    e.g. high tide today 6pm, Tomorrow 645pm ish etc

    tide times will vbary from place to place but should be pretty similair locally, full tide hight can change depending on moon position ( and other variables i dont know about)

    A quick glance at any tide timetable will show this generalisation to be wildly inaccurate. Online guides, the newspaper, smart phone apps. there are lots of accurate sources readily available.

    It's complicated, twice a month there is a neap tide, where there is no real high or low tide. Furthermore if there is a storm over the county the effect on pressure can effect tidal movements
