Live, not a mockup
This is what an alert looks like right now.
We just checked the official NWS feed for ten bellwether stations, from Galveston to Seward. If one has an active marine alert, it is shown here exactly as the email would read it: what, when, where, and a link to the official product.

FAQ
Questions
How often will you email me?
Only when an event happens at your station. Most days that means nothing. We send at most one alert per station per day, hold non-urgent alerts during quiet hours (9 PM to 7 AM station time), and let warnings through.
What counts as an "unusual" tide?
A predicted high at or above NOAA's minor flood threshold for the station (or 0.5 m above mean higher high water where NOAA has no threshold), or a predicted low at or below 1 foot under MLLW.
Which NWS alerts do you send?
Small Craft Advisories, Gale, Storm and Hurricane Force Wind watches and warnings, coastal flood and storm surge, high surf, rip currents, dense fog, and Special Marine Warnings. You can switch any of them off under "Alert options".
Is the tide on this page live?
Yes. The numbers come from NOAA's tide prediction API for the station shown, fetched within the last few hours, and the alert status comes from the NWS active alerts feed, refreshed every few minutes. Where NOAA publishes a live water-level sensor, we show that reading too.
Can I watch more than one station?
Yes. Use "Change" in the signup form to search and add up to 20 stations.
Does it cost anything?
No. Salt Tidings is free.
