Search the NOAA CO-OPS station directory by capability type, name, and/or state.
Filter with:
- type: what the station does (waterlevels, tidepredictions, currents, currentpredictions, met, ...) — pick the type matching the data you plan to request.
- name: case-insensitive substring ("San Francisco", "Boston").
- state: two-letter code ("CA", "MA").
Returns id, name, location, tide type, Great Lakes flag, and for prediction stations whether they are reference (R, harmonic) or subordinate (S, offset-based — hilo predictions only). Results are paginated (limit/offset). For proximity search by coordinates use noaa_find_nearest_stations instead.
