Coverage
Wavepane works on every coast in the world.
Anywhere there's a tide station within reasonable distance and a WiFi connection to fetch from. Every populated coastline on Earth qualifies. Analog tide clocks can't make that claim — they work on the Atlantic and drift everywhere else. WiFi LED tide displays cover the world but tie you to a wall outlet. Wavepane covers the world AND runs on battery for months.
In the United States, Wavepane pulls from NOAA's CO-OPS network — over 200 official tide stations covering the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts plus Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Outside the U.S., it falls back to WorldTides, which advertises 8,000+ harmonic-prediction stations across most of the world's populated coastlines.
The page below names the regions Wavepane covers, organized by coast. If you're on a coast and you can think of it as a place people go, Wavepane works there.
United States
All NOAA tide stations are covered automatically. Wavepane auto-detects your location from WiFi and picks the closest station; the on-device coast picker lets you override that for vacation homes, gifts, or any other coast you'd rather watch.
New England
Maine: Eastport, Cutler, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Ellsworth, Rockland, Boothbay Harbor, Bath, Portland, Old Orchard Beach, Kennebunkport, Wells, York.

Connecticut: Mystic, New London, Old Saybrook, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, the full Long Island Sound shoreline.
Mid-Atlantic
New York: Long Island's North and South Shores, the Hamptons, Montauk, Fire Island, New York Harbor, the Battery, Coney Island, Hudson River tidal stations as far north as Albany.
New Jersey: Sandy Hook, Asbury Park, Belmar, Bay Head, Mantoloking, Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, Margate, Ocean City, Wildwood, Cape May.

Gulf of Mexico
This is where analog tide clocks fall apart the hardest — the Gulf has mixed semi-diurnal tides with notably unequal highs and lows. Wavepane handles all of it because it uses the real NOAA station prediction, not a single-harmonic approximation.
Florida — Gulf Coast: Tarpon Springs, Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, Sarasota, Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island, Captiva, Sanibel, Naples, Marco Island, Crystal River, Cedar Key, Apalachicola, St. George Island, Panama City Beach, Destin, Pensacola.

Texas: Galveston, Bolivar Peninsula, Crystal Beach, Surfside Beach, Corpus Christi, Padre Island, Mustang Island, Rockport, Port Aransas, South Padre Island, Port Isabel.
U.S. West Coast
The Pacific is also mixed semi-diurnal — the same asymmetric pattern that makes the Gulf complicated. Wavepane shows it accurately because it plots the actual NOAA prediction curve, not a generic sinusoid.
California — Northern: Crescent City, Eureka, Trinidad, Mendocino, Bodega Bay, Point Reyes, San Francisco, Half Moon Bay.
California — Central: Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, Cambria, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach.

Not on the coast?
Inland users can still display tides for a favorite coastal region. The on-device setup includes a coast picker with major U.S. coastlines — Southern Maine, Bar Harbor & Acadia, Cape Cod, the Outer Banks, the Florida Atlantic, the Florida Gulf, all three regions of California, and more. Pick one during onboarding and Wavepane shows that coast's tide for as long as you'd like — perfect for the relative who lives in Iowa but summers in Wellfleet.
To change later, hold the wake button for 10 seconds to factory-reset and re-run setup.
