Coastal data and charts

Welcome to the coastal data and charts section of the Marine website.

The Department has a key coastal management and protection role, which encompasses responsibilities for marine safety, the provision of maritime facilities and the sustainable use of the Western Australian coastline. An essential part of this role is the acquisition, analysis and presentation of coastal data.

Here you will find a wealth of information on:

• Western Australia's ocean conditions (including near real time wave data, tide predictions and storm surge data);
• nautical charts (including digital and paper charts and a list of chart agents);
• notices to mariners;
• accessing the Department's vast amount of maritime geographical data;
• where to access up to date weather information;
• the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.
