About the tides at Piney Point

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Md., each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 1.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft.

Piney Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
