Ocean & Tides is a comprehensive ocean conditions tool covering tides, waves, sea temperature, currents, marine alerts, and real sensor readings for any coastal location worldwide. Whether you're planning a surf session, navigating a harbour, or researching tidal patterns, it pulls from authoritative data sources to give you what you need.
For beaches and surf spots globally, you get hourly wave height, swell direction, period, and sea surface temperature up to 7 days out. For US coasts, you get precise tide predictions from NOAA stations, observed sensor readings, ocean current predictions, and active marine weather warnings. Historical tidal statistics let you analyse seasonal patterns and flood risk.
What you can do
- Get a complete beach report — waves, water temp, currents, and alerts in one call
- Forecast high and low tides for any NOAA station on US coasts
- Get hourly wave and swell forecasts for any ocean location worldwide
- Read real-time sensor data from NOAA stations (water temp, wind, pressure, salinity)
- Predict ocean current velocity and direction at NOAA current stations
- Check active marine weather warnings including gale, storm, and rip current alerts
- Retrieve historical monthly tidal statistics for long-term analysis
- Look up station datums, flood thresholds, and harmonic constituents
Who it's for
Surfers, sailors, beach-goers, marine researchers, harbour pilots, coastal engineers, and anyone who needs reliable ocean and tide information for planning or analysis.
How to use it
- Start with beach_report for a full overview of any coastal location — pass latitude and longitude
- Use find_stations to locate the nearest NOAA station, then tide_forecast for precise tide times
- Use wave_forecast with coordinates for surf conditions anywhere in the world
- Use marine_alerts to check active warnings before heading out on US waters
