getCoastalConditions

Fetch the nearest NOAA CO-OPS coastal station observation — OBSERVED water level (the real tide, including surge/seiche) plus coastal wind and temperature.

ProblemWhat it solves

The problem this tool solves

Seaplane bay/harbor landings turn on the actual measured water level — not the astronomical tide prediction and not an offshore buoy.
