lough Swilly tide times

#1 Post by herefishyfishy »

Lads thinking of heading up to do a little fishing over the bank holiday weekend. I have found the tides for Rathmullen pier can you please let me know if there is much time difference between the tides at Rathmullen and Buncrana / Fahan? If possible could someone post up the highs and lows of the areas for Friday 30th April till Monday 3rd May. Thanks in advance.

Rathmullin is directly opposite Fahan and almost opposite Buncrana so I would say they should be near identical. Close enough to plan a fishing trip anyways!

Lads, just was checking easytide there today and its given the incorrect tides for Dublin so i'm asuming that they are incorrect for Rathmullen also. Can anyone confirm the high and low tides for Rathmullen for next weekend (Sunday)? Thanks for the help lads.
