About Chesapeake Bay from Drum Point MD to Smith Point VA

Chesapeake Bay from Drum Point MD to Smith Point VA is a bay reached from boat ramps in Maryland and Virginia. SeaStatus lists 20 or more ramps that launch into it, the closest being Hoopersville at 0.0 mi.

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 8571214, Holland Island Bar Light, the closest one to here.
