    You can zoom in on your exact location, big difference between sea level in areas of Swords and Balheary. Sure the coastline shouldn't get to you for a few more years with Global warming.

    Depends what time of day it is:D

    I use a GPS with an altitude measure on it on the bike, and it normally shows an altitude of just under 10m at the lowest point on the Swords bypass (the Estuary roundabout)

    Was the tide in or out?

    The Balheary area is between 40 and 60 ft. above mean sea level according to Google earth.
