About Fletchers Cove

Fletchers Cove is a boat ramp in District of Columbia, District of Columbia, on Potomac River. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Potomac River (Segment 1 of 7), Tidal Potomac from Key Bridge to Indian Head MD, Potomac River (Segment 1 of 7) and Little River.

The main water here is Potomac River (Segment 1 of 7). Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8594900, WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C., the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 4.9 mi from this ramp.
