Global tides API · FES2022
Predict the tide at any coordinate, for any moment in the past or future — synthesized from the full 34-constituent FES2022 model on a 3.7 km grid.
THE METHOD
We store the harmonic constants of the FES2022 model once per grid point, then synthesize the tide on demand. No precomputed tables, no fixed forecast window — just the physics, evaluated for the exact time you ask for.
Amplitude and phase for every tidal constituent, stored at the model's native 1/30° resolution across ~23M ocean points.
We sum the constituents with proper nodal corrections to get the height at any timestamp — past or future — in milliseconds.
A simple REST response: the height series, the high/low events, or the current level and next turn — with the grid point we used.
TRANSPARENCY
Most tide APIs hide their resolution and constituent set. Mareel publishes them — and returns the grid point that served your request.
