About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Point Lookout from the Baltimore, Fort McHenry station: high tides about the same height, 328 min earlier; low tides about 0.77× the height, 337 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.
