Tide Gauges and Displays

Don't get stuck in the mud or be caught by unexpected rising seas. Add a local tide gauge to display and forecast tides and surges in your bay or estuary.

Our Tide Gauges and Displays

Our Tide Gauges are small and unobtrusive and are designed to be installed at marinas or residential docks. We offer two types of sensors to measure tide levels. A Patented tilt sensor that mounts under a ramp between a stationary pier and a floating dock or a more conventional ultrasonic sensor that measures the distance between the sensor and the water. Ultrasonic sensors may be mounted under fixed walkways over the water or on arms hanging over the water.

The sensors are connected by cellular or WiFi to our Web App called Tide Alerts and are mains or solar powered.

Real time tide levels are displayed on a web app along with tidal forecasts and tide calendars.

Our next generation 6'6" LED Tide Staff displays current and forecasted tide levels from Tide Alerts or NOAA tide stations. At a glance the Tide Staff shows the current tide level, the direction of the tide, and the level of the next high or low. The LED Tide Staff is a wonderful addition to any home, marina, or waterfront business and acts as a real conversation piece with real utility.
