Coast Guard Stations are shore-based operational units that provide round-the-clock maritime safety, security, and law enforcement. Located near coasts, ports, and navigable waterways, Stations deploy small boats and crews for search and rescue, port security, and environmental protection.

While most are classified as “Small Boat Stations,” many Stations are specialized "Surf Stations" or “Heavy Weather Stations.” Surf Stations are required where surf greater that 8 feet occurs 10% (36 days) or greater each year. Surf is defined as the waves or swell of the sea breaking on the shore or reef. There are currently 19 Coast Guard Surf Stations. Heavy Weather Stations are required where seas or swells are greater than 8 feet or winds exceed 30 kts at least 10% (36 days) or more each year. There are presently 23 Coast Guard Heavy Weather Stations.
