About the tides at Town Point Wharf
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 2.0 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Maryland stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.6 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 1.9 ft, on Sunday.
Predictions for Town Point Wharf come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Charlestown, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min later. For tidal currents, see Old Town Point Wharf, northwest of.
