About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Piney Point, Md. from the WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C. station: high tides about 0.51× the height, 354 min earlier; low tides about 0.60× the height, 436 min earlier.

Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
