Before you connect
Questions about NOAA.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the NOAA Marine. Tides, Currents & Coastal Data MCP give me real-time water levels?
Yes, it pulls live data from over 200 stations. You can see exactly how high or low the water is at a specific coastal point right now.
Does the NOAA Marine. Tides, Currents & Coastal Data MCP work for inland lakes?
No, this capability is specifically for US coastal oceanographic data. It pulls from NOAA CO-OPS stations which are located along the coastline.
Can I use the NOAA Marine. Tides, Currents & Coastal Data MCP to plan a fishing trip?
Yes, it's great for that. You can get tide predictions for high and low water times to help you find the best spots.
Can the NOAA Marine. Tides, Currents & Coastal Data MCP provide wind and air pressure?
Yes, it includes coastal meteorological data. This gives you the full picture of the weather conditions at a station.
How far back does the sea level data go with the NOAA Marine. Tides, Currents & Coastal Data MCP?
It can pull trends from decades of tide gauge data. This is perfect for long-term climate research.
Is the data from the NOAA Marine. Tides, Currents & Coastal Data MCP accurate?
Yes, it pulls directly from NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, which is the standard for US coastal data.
How do I find my nearest CO-OPS station?
Visit tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/map to find your nearest station and its ID number. Major stations include 8518750 (NYC), 9414290 (San Francisco), 8723214 (Virginia Key, Miami).
What is CO-OPS?
CO-OPS stands for Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, a branch of NOAA that manages a national network of coastal stations providing marine environmental data.
Can I get long-term sea level trends?
Yes, the API provides sea level rise trends calculated over decades of data, offering precise measurements of relative sea level changes in millimeters per year at specific coastal stations.
