Marine model
West Ireland model
West Ireland model is a marine model point in Ireland integrated into SwellOracle from Open-Meteo Marine. It is not a physical buoy: it summarizes estimated height, period and direction to guide areas without a nearby real observation: 1.9 ft, 7.8 s, W.

How to use this reading
West Ireland model does not measure the ocean with an instrument in the water. It is a marine model estimate for Ireland; use it as an initial guide and compare it with nearby real buoys, cameras, wind, tide and local knowledge.
For surf decisions, compare height, period and direction with your beach's local exposure. If the station does not report a variable, use the app to compare it with nearby model points.
Model history not available yet
This page represents a marine model point, not a physical buoy with observed readings. SwellOracle can add model history later, but it will be labelled separately from real buoy observations.
Frequently asked questions about this station
What is West Ireland model?
West Ireland model is a marine model point for Ireland. It provides estimated ocean conditions for a grid location and is not a physical instrument in the water.
Where does the data for West Ireland model come from?
The source shown for this page is Open-Meteo Marine. SwellOracle preserves the station identifier and distinguishes measured observations from model estimates.
Does West Ireland model have a current reading?
A source observation is available and its timestamp is displayed on this page. Always check that time before using the values because marine feeds update on different schedules.
Why does West Ireland model have or not have a history chart?
This is a model point, so any future model history will be labelled separately from physical buoy observations.
