Point Lookout State Park is a public boat ramp in St. Mary's County, Maryland, on Potomac River/Chesapeake Bay. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Tidal Potomac from Cobb Island MD to Smith Point VA, Potomac River (Segment 7 of 7), Chesapeake Bay from Drum Point MD to Smith Point VA and Potomac River (Segment 7 of 7).
The main water here is Chesapeake Bay from Drum Point MD to Smith Point VA. 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 8578002, Point Lookout, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 7.2 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
