Does anyone have specific tide tables for Kerry..?
I have being using the Dublin ones for years and adding/subtracting etc but last year I made a balls of it. I had tripple checked it before we left but the tides were way off when we got down there.

To avoid the same this year I wanted to get Kerry ones if they exist..?

cheers

Buy a few credits for easytide and get the tables for the weeks you need. It works out fairly cheap if you don't need too many weeks/locations.

Subtract an hour from the tarbert tide table. This tide table pretty much matchs the cork tide times as well:

Try Landers for tide table books.

using the shannon tide tables which are very accurate btw i used a handy little trick for when i used to fish on the west coast of clare for macko's..

pick a high/low tide from tarbert and foynes...you will notice tides are roughly half hour earlier in tarbert than in foynes. considering there is a distance of 15 miles between the two.. therefore it is safe to assume that for every mile travelled in a westerly/easterly direction from a point x the tide is 2 mins earlier/later..yes!

simply then using your road map(trust me you will need 1 in kerry!) guage the lateral distance(not as the crow flies but the distance travelled due east/west) between tarbert/foynes and where you are fishing!
if its 30 miles then the tide will be an hour earlier..simple! to get a more accurate reading do the same between limerick/foynes and limerick/tarbert and get an average of all 3. ok maths lesson over

why bother with this i hear you say?
well you will have deadly accurate tides no matter where you fish because the shannon tides are perfect to start with therefore they are a good template to use..
and also a lad i was fishing with once on the estuary had checked the tides in the area with easytide before he set off..when i was asked to confirm it turns out easytide was 3-4 hours out :shock: and people pay for this :roll:
alternatively buy tralee bay tide tables!!!

Tnks all, some crackin ideas. I know Dingle like the back of my hand, its the tides that I f**ked up big style last year. Never done it before so still dont know what happend last year. Was spring tides that weekend whether that had anything to do with it.

occasionally the tide tables can be out - depending on particular swells - weather patterns or some local peculiarity of a mark

Hi Gearoid,
I would have always followed your logic but last week I compared Fenit tide table with Caherciveen. Fenit which is a good bit to the West had High water 20 min later than Caherciveen.

One thing to note the tarbert tide table is already adjusted for summer time. All other tables add +1.
