Depth of the water in town?

Hey all, just wondering what the depth of the water by the quays in Wexford town in (e.g. around the bridge to the Ferrybank), a rough idea of both high and low tide would be nice.

No urgent need for the info, just had an argument with a friend over it, and googling doesn't seem to give much info, there's some general info on the tides in Wexford Harbour but it doesn't really seem to say whereabouts that is and there's some wide variance it seems.
As well as that it seems to say <2m generally, which i'm assuming means it can't be referring to the Quays in town as there's generally quite large boats there which presumably require deep water.

Whatever about the quay, it seems the channel can be as shallow as 0.3m at low tide.

Get yourself a set of tide tables, would probably give a good idea or in fact if you are down by the quays ask one of the fisherman! Should be able to let you know for sure as they have to know to have safe clearance from their keels.
