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 average range is about 2.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.8 ft.
Wishart Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
