Well luckily astronomical tides won't be quite as high on Monday as they will be tomorrow and Saturday, but I'd imagine there will still be a significant risk of coastal flooding anyway.
I put a green circle around the area of 40+ ft wave forecast to be off the west coast tomorrow morning.
Just to show the difference, here is the area 40+ ft waves for Monday morning highlighted in green.
I'm not an expert in coastal flooding but that doesn't look good.0 -

Its beginning to get a bit blowy here in Limerick City Ennis Road area. But nothing significant. We have an outside Christmas tree in a south facing area and its steady as a rock at the moment (it rocked quite a bit the night of the 26th).
Its cold though. Very cold.
I have to say, we've never had such a romantic Christmas as we have had this year. Candles lit on a number of evenings anticipating a possible power outage A Big fire down to keep the place warm
Not a bad thing at all!! 0 -

2214 update from Met Eireann
Very windy tonight with gusts generally of about 100km/h but some damaging gusts of over 130km/h are likely. Also some coastal flooding is possible along parts of the south, west and northwest coasts (high tides and high seas).
Rather cold with a mixture of clear spells and heavy showers of rain and hail and a risk of isolated thunderstorms. Lowest temperatures 2 to 5 degrees.
Tomorrow
Continuing very windy Friday morning with further severe gusts and especially stormy in northern parts Friday morning with prolonged squally showers. The high winds will gradually abate Friday afternoon.
A cool day with a mixture of sunny spells and heavy downpours and highest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees.
Outlook
Unsettled and changeable weather is expected.
Friday night : Windy and blustery to start the night, but the winds will decrease a good deal overnight. A cold night in store, with a mixture of clear spells and scattered showers, some of these of hail, with a little sleet on high ground. Lowest temperatures of plus 1 to -1 C., with a sharp to severe frost and some icy patches.
Saturday: Frost and ice clearing, to give a cold, bright day, with a mixture of sunny spells and showers. Some of these showers will be heavy and of hail, with a little sleet possible on high ground, There may be a few scattered thunderstorms also. Highs of just 4 to 7 C., expected. Winds moderate to fresh southwesterly but could be blustery in any thundery downpours. Cold on Saturday night, with a sharp to severe frost and icy roads. Strengthening southeast winds late in the night, may clear the frost from Munster, before dawn on Sunday.
Sunday and Monday : Very wet and windy weather will sweep up from the southwest during Sunday morning. Winds will veer south to southwesterly and will be strong to gale force, with some severe gusts likely in exposed places. The heavy rain should give way to occasional blustery showers by nightfall. It will stay very blustery overnight and for Monday with occasional heavy showers in places. There is a risk of some spot flooding and also some coastal flooding on Atlantic coasts, as tides and seas will be high.
Tuesday and Wednesday : The trend is for winds to moderate, with bright or sunny spells expected each day, but still some showers in places at times also. The nights will be cold, with frost and icy patches likely to develop.0 -

A lot of the Irish coastline facing the Atlantic is protected by high cliffs, it's not as widely vulernable to tidal flooding.0 -
