Cork City Council wish to advise that there will be a period of very high astronomical Spring Tides continuing from tomorrow morning (Wednesday 10 April) lasting until Thursday morning 11 April.
The natural cycle of High Tides for the following days is predicted for:
| Day | Date | Morning High Tide | Evening High Tide |
| Wednesday | 10/04/2024 | 07:25hrs | 19.43hrs |
During the high tides listed above Cork City Centre will experience flooding of the roads across the low-lying city quays.
Cork City Council would advise Householders and Businesses to take Precautionary Measures to protect their property during the high tidal events e.g. erect their tidal barriers and leave them in place over night.
It is highly likely that flooding will occur in the low-lying areas of the City Centre that might affect properties on the following streets:
- Morrison’s Quay
- Fr. Mathew Quay
- Fr. Mathew Street
- Union Quay
- Trinity Bridge
- South Terrace
- Rutland Street
- Sawmill Street
- Crosses Green
- Sharman Crawford St
- Wandesford Quay
- South Mall (particularly the southern side)
In addition to the above streets, road flooding will also likely occur on Wednesday morning on the following streets:
- Kyrls Quay
- Lavitts Quay
- Lapps Quay
- Proby’s Quay
- French’s Quay
- Sullivan’s Quay
The situation will continue to be monitored and further advice will be issued if the situation changes. Cork City Council will be posting regular updates to our X (@corkcitycouncil) account as well as the City Council’s Public Alert System (MapAlerter).
Traffic Impact:
It is not envisaged that any road closures will be required but we would advise motorists to drive with extra care and attention on Wednesday mornings between 7.00am and approximately 8.00am as it is likely that many of the roads listed above will have surface water on them. Please avoid driving on flooded streets (as the creation of waves and wash from moving vehicles can cause flooding in properties adjacent to the flooded road) and take alternative routes along unflooded roads instead.
Motorists are advised not to park in any of the areas listed above overnight.
