What the numbers at this station mean

Heights are feet above mean lower low water, the datum NOAA uses for tide predictions on US coasts. A predicted height of 1.235 ft does not mean 1.235 ft of water under a boat: it means the surface is predicted to be 1.235 ft above the chart datum, and the depth at any spot is whatever the chart says plus that number.

What these predictions are not. They are astronomical: the tide the sun and moon would produce on their own. NOAA's own FAQ puts it plainly — "we can only predict the astronomical tides" and not "the effect that wind, rain, freshwater runoff" have on the water level (NOAA Tides & Currents FAQ). A storm, a strong onshore wind or a wet week can put the water well above the line, and a hard offshore wind can hold it below. Nothing on this page tells you whether a place is safe to walk, swim, anchor or cross, and times of slack water are a different quantity again — see high tide vs slack tide.

Nearby stations

Predictions change along a coast, inside a harbour and up an estuary. If your spot is closer to one of these, use that station instead.
