About Tide Tracker
Simple Tide Information at Your Fingertips
Tide Tracker is a comprehensive web app designed to provide tide data for coastal locations across the United States. Built for use on desktop or phone browsers, the app delivers a seamless experience for anyone who needs tide information: sailors, powerboaters, kayakers, fishing enthusiasts, surfers, and anyone who loves the ocean or coastal waters.
Tide Predictions
Tide height values shown on Tide Tracker — including the tide curve, high and low tides, and "Tide Now" — are predicted values calculated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using harmonic analysis of astronomical factors (sun, moon, and Earth rotation).
Tide Observations
Primary stations generally have sensors, which measure tide heights. Click on the button "Show Observations" to display available preliminary observations.
Subordinate stations have data interpolated by NOAA, and do not have sensors.
Times Displayed
Times displayed are local at the station selected.
Tide Heights
All tide height values displayed are from Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
NOAA station pages
Each tide station page on Tide Tracker links to the official NOAA station home page for that location, where you may find historical observed water levels, preliminary and verified measurement data, and weather- or surge-related deviations from predictions.
