Ramps that reach this water
Tidal Potomac from Cobb Island MD to Smith Point VA is a river reached from boat ramps in Maryland and Virginia. SeaStatus lists 20 or more ramps that launch into it, the closest being Piney Point Recreation Area at 0.1 mi.
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. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44042, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8578240, Piney Point, Md., the closest one to here.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
