A light swell — expect some movement in the water
Dingle harbour mouth (Beenbawn side) · 0.4 m · 1 ft · wind ENE 10 km/h
The forecast model works on an offshore grid, so each spot carries an honest note about where its numbers really come from.
Lifeguards: check the signs at the beach
Numbers come from open Dingle Bay outside the harbour — inside the mouth, by the lighthouse and Beenbawn, it is usually calmer than shown. Beenbawn's access path was damaged by a rock fall in 2023; check locally that it has reopened before walking out.
