Current tide and water level readings for U.S. coasts and the Great Lakes, for port operations, shipping, marine businesses and coastal engineering teams. Pick a state or specific stations and get the latest official NOAA reading from each tide station: water level, water temperature, air temperature or air pressure.

What you get

One row per tide station:

  • Station name, ID and coordinates
  • The latest reading for the measurement you picked, with its time
  • Water levels in feet against the standard NOAA tidal datum (Mean Lower Low Water)

Who this is for

  • Port and terminal operations checking current water levels before vessel movements.
  • Marine businesses and boating operators whose work depends on the tide.
  • Coastal engineering and construction teams who need current tidal conditions, not a forecast.

For inland rivers and streams, see River Level Tracker, which uses USGS gauges instead.

Input

{
"state": "NY",
"stationId": "",
"product": "waterLevel",
"maxResults": 25
}
FieldTypeDescription
statestringTwo-letter US state code to survey all tide stations in. Ignored if stationId is set.
stationIdstring (optional)A specific NOAA CO-OPS station ID to check instead of a whole state, e.g. "8518750" (The Battery, NY).
productstring"waterLevel", "waterTemperature", "airTemperature", or "airPressure". Default "waterLevel".
maxResultsnumberMax stations to return when surveying a state. Default 25, max 100.

Either state or stationId is required.

Output

One record per station:

{
"stationId": "8518750",
"stationName": "The Battery",
"latitude": 40.7006,
"longitude": -74.0142,
"product": "water_level",
"value": 5.102,
"time": "2026-08-15 21:48"
}

Water level is in feet relative to the station's Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) datum, the standard NOAA tidal reference. Stations with no current reading for the selected type are silently skipped.

A search with no matching stations returns no items but is still billed once for the search.

How it works

Direct calls to the official NOAA CO-OPS Tides & Currents API — no proxy, no key, no scraping. Public U.S. government data, updated every 6 minutes per station.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per station returned — one charge whether the search returns 0 stations or 100.
