About the tides at Piney Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Potomac River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Washington, Potomac River. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.8 ft on June 5, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 24.

Piney Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Washington, Potomac River: highs come about 354 min and lows about 436 min earlier than there. It also reports wind. It was established in 1958. The nearest other station is Ragged Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min later. For tidal currents, see Piney Point, 0.2 mile south of.

Predictions are based on Washington, Potomac River.
