About this source

NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS). Tide predictions, observed water levels, currents, and meteorological data from coastal stations. CRITICAL USAGE RULES: 1. No authentication required 2. Use searchStations() to find stations near a location 3. GULF_COAST_STATIONS constant has pre-mapped station IDs 4. Date format: YYYYMMDD (e.g., '20250601') 5. Units: heights in feet vs the datum (default MLLW), current/wind speed in knots, temperature in °F; times are station local time (LST/LDT) 6. Current stations (e.g. 'g06010') have no state — find them with latitude/longitude + radiusMiles
