Tide gauge
GET /v1/uk/tides finds the nearest Environment Agency station measuring tidal_level within 40 km of a postcode. Returns the station name, latest reading, unit (usually metres above ordnance datum), and observation time.
Tidal gauges are coastal. Inland postcodes may return a 400 with a hint to try a seaside code such as BN1 or PO1.
Data source: Environment Agency flood monitoring (OGL).
