All NOAA tide and tidal current predictions for locations around the nation are available in electronic form online. NOAA eliminated paper publications of the annual Tide Tables and Tidal Current Tables in 2020.

Online predictions are more accurate and up-to-date than what is provided in the annual printed tables.
