MET Eireann has issued a High Tide Advisory for all coasts, covering the period from 12 noon on Wednesday to 12 noon on Friday this week.

Kerry County Council has activated its Severe Weather Assessment Team protocol and is monitoring the situation.

A period of ‘supermoon’ spring tides, expected to be among the highest during 2024, are the primary cause of elevated and high coastal tides.

In addition Ireland is forecast to be affected by strong winds and increased storm surge from the remnants of Hurricane Ernesto in the Caribbean.

The combination of strong onshore winds, high spring tides and high waves may result in coastal flooding and wave overtopping.

Property owners and residents at known coastal flooding risk locations are advised to take the usual necessary precautions during this High Tide Advisory.
