    Options

    data-stationRequired. A NOAA station id, e.g. 8570283. Use the picker above.
    data-unitsenglish (feet, default) or metric (metres).
    data-clock12 (default) or 24.
    data-themeauto (default), light or dark.
    data-datumMLLW by default, the chart datum NOAA publishes tide predictions against.
    data-targetOptional CSS selector. Renders into that element instead of where the script tag sits.

    Why the times are right

    A tide table an hour out is worse than no tide table, and the hour that goes missing is almost always daylight saving. Two things guard against it here.

    The tide times are NOAA's own, on the station's own clock - nothing is converted, so nothing can be converted twice. The sunrise and sunset are computed from NOAA's published solar algorithm, and the UTC offset they use is derived from NOAA's own answers: the same day is requested twice, once local and once in GMT, and the difference between them is the offset NOAA applied. The sun and the tide are therefore on the same clock by construction, whatever that clock turns out to be.

    That is not a theoretical worry. NOAA shifts its Guaymas, Mexico station onto US daylight saving even though Mexico abolished the practice in 2022, so a widget that looked the timezone up in a database would put every summer sunrise there an hour away from the tides beside it.

    A page for every station

    Each NOAA station also has its own page here, at a guessable address: tides.romermade.com/s/8570283 is Ocean City Inlet. It carries today's tides, and the measured facts that do not change from day to day - the mean range, the pattern of the tide, the largest and smallest swings of the year, and what the chart datum means at that particular place, all computed from a full year of NOAA's own predictions for that station. Browse them by state.

    The data

    Predictions come from NOAA CO-OPS. They are predictions, not observations: real water levels differ with wind and barometric pressure, and this is not a substitute for a chart or a forecast when it matters. US government works carry no copyright.
