Cork City Council wish to advise that there will be a period of high astronomical Spring tides in the coming days.

It is likely that some roads and parking areas along low-lying quays in the city centre may suffer localised flooding during high tides; i.e:

  • Morrison’s Quay
  • Fr. Matthew Quay
  • Trinity Bridge
  • Union Quay
  • Sharman Crawford Street
  • Wandesford Quay
  • Frenche’s Quay
  • Proby’s Quay
  • Crosses Green
  • Lavitt’s Quay
  • Kyrl’s Quay
  • South Terrace
  • Rutland Street
  • Sawmill Street and potentially reaching South Mall.

Motorists in these areas are advised to proceed with caution.  High tide times of note are as follows:

Tuesday                                 21/03/2023                                                17:32

Wednesday                            22/03/2022                        05:53              18:13

Thursday                                23/03/2023                      06:35                18:52 

As forecasted weather and tidal conditions are variable at this time, Cork City Council is continuing to monitor the situation closely; please stay alert for further updates, should forecast conditions change.
