Tide and water level readings from NOAA stations as flat rows — time, value, sigma and quality flags. Free public API, no key.

What you get

time, value, sigma, flags, quality.

Sample output

{ "time": "2026-10-18 02:00", "value": "1.234", "sigma": "0.012", "quality": "v" }

Limitations

  • date: "latest" returns ONE row — the most recent reading. Use today, or a range like 20261001-20261007, for a series.
  • value is a string, as NOAA publishes it, and the unit depends on your units choice (metric or english). It is not converted.
  • quality is NOAA's own flag (v verified, p preliminary) — a preliminary reading can be revised later.
  • Tide predictions and observations are different products. water_level is measured; predictions is astronomical and cannot see a storm surge.
  • US stations only.

Fields

FieldTypeWhat it holds
timestringTime this row refers to.
valuenumberThe measured value for this row. Units are in the README and sometimes in a sibling field.
sigmastringStandard deviation of the height prediction, in the source's units. A measure of how uncertain the tide forecast is, not of the tide itself.
flagsstringQuality or status flags the source sets on the observation, in its own coding.
qualitystringQuality flag from the source. For a postcode this is 1 for a real one and lower for an approximate or terminated one.
