Asquith Island is a public boat ramp in Dorchester County, Maryland, on Lake Cove. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Tangier Sound and the inland waters surrounding Bloodsworth Island, Chesapeake Bay from North Beach to Drum Point MD, Farm Creek and Chesapeake Bay from Drum Point MD to Smith Point VA.
The main water here is Tangier Sound and the inland waters surrounding Bloodsworth Island. Bays are scored mostly on wind. Wave height counts for less than on open water, and comfort (temperature and chance of rain) counts for more. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44042, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8571519, Middle Hooper Island, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 14.0 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
