Type: model · Updates: Real-time (continuous) · Delay: None (calculated on demand)

Forecast range: Indefinite

Estimated from lunar position. Works everywhere (global approximation).

⚠ Lunar-based approximation only. Does not account for local bathymetry, coastal geography, or meteorological effects on tides.

Provider: Open-Meteo SMOC

Coverage: Global (coastal + open ocean)

Data: Sea level height with tidal + atmospheric components

Type: forecast · Updates: Every 24 hours · Delay: 6-12 hours

Forecast range: Up to 10 days

SMOC model including ocean tides and inverted barometer effect. Global coverage.

⚠ Sea level includes tides + atmospheric effects. Not for navigation. Consult official tide tables for safety-critical use.

Provider: NOAA NDBC

Coverage: Primarily US waters + select global

Data: Real-time buoy observations

Type: realtime · Updates: Every 10-60 minutes · Delay: 30-60 minutes

Forecast range: Current conditions only

1 buoys within 300km

US-maintained buoys. Dense off US coasts; sparse in international waters.

⚠ Real-time observations — may be intermittent. Not all buoys report continuously.

Provider: NOAA CO-OPS

Coverage: US coastal waters + territories

Data: Tide predictions, water levels, currents, water temp

Type: realtime + forecast · Updates: Every 6 minutes (observed); 7-day predictions · Delay: Minutes (observed); immediate (predictions)

Forecast range: Up to 7 days (predictions)

3 stations within range

Precise tide predictions at US stations. ✅ Your location is in US East Coast

⚠ US-only stations. Predictions based on harmonic analysis. Actual conditions may vary due to weather.

Provider: Global Fishing Watch

Coverage: Global

Data: Vessel identity, flag, gear type, dimensions

Type: historical · Updates: Registry database (quarterly updates) · Delay: Months (registry data)

Search by IMO/MMSI/name. Global AIS coverage.

⚠ Vessel registry data may be outdated. Not suitable for real-time vessel tracking. AIS positions may be inaccurate.

Provider: SST-Based Synthesis

Coverage: Global

Data: Temperature & salinity profiles (estimated from SST + latitude)

Type: model · Updates: Real-time (on-demand) · Delay: None

Synthesized profile using thermocline model. Real Argo data available via Ifremer ERDDAP.

⚠ Profile is estimated from SST + latitude using a thermocline model. NOT real Argo float data. For actual Argo profiles, use Ifremer ERDDAP or Copernicus Marine.

Provider: Static Dataset

Coverage: US national (aggregate)

Data: Employment, wages, GDP by ocean sector

Type: historical · Updates: Annual (manual update) · Delay: 1-2 years

📡 JSON API deprecated — showing static data

Economic data for US coastal regions. Updated periodically from NOAA ENOW CSV exports.

⚠ ENOW JSON API deprecated by NOAA. Data shown is from latest public release. Download full CSV at coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/data/enow.html.

Provider: SST Estimation

Coverage: Global (polar regions, >65° latitude)

Data: Sea ice concentration (estimated from SST)

Type: model · Updates: Real-time (based on SST) · Delay: None (on-demand estimate)

Not applicable (non-polar latitude)

Estimated from SST + seasonal model. Relevant for high latitudes (>65°N/S).

⚠ Estimated from sea surface temperature and latitude. NOT direct satellite observation. Not for navigation. For accurate sea ice data, consult national ice services (NSIDC, CIS, etc.).
