Antrim · open water conditions information
Ballycastle is a coastal location in Antrim, one of 20 Antrim spots covered by NippyIndex.
The shore faces broadly north, so it is most open to wind and swell arriving from the north.
As a tidal location, its tide predictions are referenced to the nearest tidal station, Ballycastle Bay.
NippyIndex draws on published marine and weather data (sea state, wave information and water temperature) and UKHO tidal predictions.
