Hi Cimagaroon,

This is not a data server we manage. I am also not familiar with this dataset 
or the convention in which the data is stored. I did successfully retrieve some 
data for one of the stations you listed. But it took a few "no data found for 
your request" attempts before I got data. Also, one of the stations you gave 
("8779750") was not listed on the station list given in the attributes for the 
_STATION_ID variable.

There is contact information given in the global attributes section of the data 
access page you are accessing:

Owner: "Web site owner: Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and 
Services (CO-OPS)"
Privacy_Policy: "For the Privacy Policy please visit 
http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/privacy.html";
title: "CO-OPS Six Minute verified Water Level Data"
host: "http://opendap.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/dods/";
contact: "address@hidden"
REQUIRED_Fields: " _STATION_ID, _DATUM, _BEGIN_DATE and _END_DATE "

They will be better able to advise you on how to access this dataset and may 
have suggestions on an OPeNDAP client that understands the conventions in which 
this data is stored.

Good luck,

Ethan
