Marine Weather APIs

Marine weather APIs cover waves, swell, tides, currents and sea temperature. Open-Meteo Marine Weather API returns hourly wave and current forecasts without a key, and NOAA CO-OPS Tides & Currents serves US station predictions and observed water levels going back decades. Storm Glass blends national models for waves and wind, WorldTides is a paid source for tide times on any coast, and Environment Canada's MSC GeoMet adds Canadian marine forecasts. Free Weather APIs →
