Coastline — open data for working harbors
Coastline is a small public-data project that collects tide, weather, and harbor traffic data from working ports along the US east coast and publishes it as a free API. We index real conditions at thirty-eight harbors from Eastport, ME to Charleston, SC.
What we publish
- Real-time tide height + 24-hour forecast at every NOAA station within 5 miles of a working harbor.
- Wind, gust, and barometric pressure pulled from the nearest METAR every 60 seconds.
- AIS-derived harbor occupancy: how many fishing vessels, ferries, and recreational craft are inside the breakwater right now.
- Historical hourly bundles back to 2019, served as Parquet for analysts.
Why this site is interesting to AI agents
This is a Next.js App Router site with the agentsite content layer wired into generateMetadata on every route, plus per-route <AgentsiteSchemaTags /> emitting JSON-LD from the same RenderBundle the Express snippet uses for plain SPAs. Curl any page and you'll see real title, description, Open Graph, canonical, and per-route schema — without us hand-rolling each one. The "before" sibling at next-before.agentsite.app is the same content without the layer, for comparison.
