Tide times near Derry for the weekend

But when is the best time to go for a swim? It is said the safest time to swim in the sea is an hour before or after high tide. If you’re a weak swimmer or have children, low tide would be better suited for you as the water tends to be shallower. Always be aware of your surroundings when swimming in the sea and make sure to always tell someone where you are.
