LNM: NOAA Discontinues Printed Tide Tables and Tidal Current Tables
The move to all digital tables and charts has been expected for some time.
NATIONAL OCEANIC ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) IS DISCONTINUING THE PRINTED TIDE TABLES AND TIDAL CURRENT TABLES
NOAA is ending the production of the printed Tide Tables and Tidal Current Tables publications. There will not be NOAA printed Tide Tables and Tidal Current Tables publications for 2021. NOAA is discontinuing the production of these annual publications due to: (a) recent changes by the U.S. Coast Guard in the interpretation of the
requirements for predictions, no longer requiring these publications in paper format and (b) the availability of online and electronic services providing tide and tidal current predictions which meet the U.S. Coast Guard requirements for navigation, and support other activities along the U.S. Coast.
Tide and Tidal Current predictions are available through NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) online services:
NOAA Tide Predictions: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tide_predictions.html
