Town Branch is a public boat ramp in Worcester County, Maryland, on Pocomoke River. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Coastal waters from Chincoteague to Parramore Island VA out 20 NM (Area 2 of 5), Dividing Creek, Pocomoke River (Segment 2 of 4) and Chesapeake Bay from Smith Point to Windmill Point VA (Area 6 of 6).
The main water here is Coastal waters from Chincoteague to Parramore Island VA out 20 NM (Area 2 of 5). Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8571097, Shelltown, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 2.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
