Yoda

Where can one get up-to-date tide tables for Ireland, in particular for Clew Bay?

Yoda

Yes, that's got the tides for Westport. Thank you! That should be put in the weather resources sticky.

Is there an annual printed almanac that has this information? (Well... Ireland.com gets it from somehere.)

billy the squid

it doesnt have westport but you could try this

high tide corresponds with the time of the moon's highest point in the sky, so so if you can find out when this occours you should be able to predict the high tides.

Yoda

I don't want to predict them, though... Better people than I do that. There must be an alamac for Ireland.com to get them. Hm.

billy the squid

to be honest I have no idea, met eireann would be the ones to ask.

Danno

Do Met Eireann not publish them online???

Shame on them! Somebody should email them!!!

Yoda

I plan to write to them. Why haven't you?

Although completely off-topic regarding this conversation, Evelyn Cusack on a weather forecast yesterday mentioned how the Easter Sunday is calculated:
Easter Sunday is on the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon following the Spring Equinox which explains why it is so early this year!
