## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured tide schedule lookups for a coastal location, especially when integrating tide awareness into planning workflows for surfing, fishing, beach visits, or coastal navigation. Prefer this over manual tide chart lookups or scraped data when you need machine-readable tide times and heights.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported location returns an error or empty result
- Missing required location parameter causes a 400-level error
- Date out of supported prediction range returns no data
- Network timeout from upstream tide data provider
- Inland locations with no tidal relevance may return null or error
