About the tides at Wishart Point
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Ocean City, Fishing Pier. The average range is about 2.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 3.9 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 2.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.8 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Wishart Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Ocean City, Fishing Pier: highs come about 52 min and lows about 73 min later than there. The nearest other station is Wallops Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Pocomoke R., 0.5 mile below Shelltown.
Predictions are based on Ocean City, Fishing Pier.
