General

Information on this website is provided for general information only, “as is”. We work to keep it accurate and up to date, but places, rules, hours and fees change. Always check the official source linked in each article before you go. Data from public agencies (U.S. Geological Survey, National Weather Service, NOAA, U.S. Census Bureau) is shown as received and may be provisional, delayed or incomplete. The website is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.

Tides, marine forecasts and boating

Tide predictions, marine forecasts and buoy data on this website are NOT FOR NAVIGATION. Tide predictions come from NOAA and do not include the effects of wind and weather; actual water levels can differ. The “tide at a time you pick” value is an estimate calculated between two predicted tides. Marine forecasts come from the National Weather Service and can change at any time. Always use official NOAA charts, current NWS forecasts and Coast Guard information, and follow the rules of Maryland and Virginia (fishing licenses, seasons and limits change often).

Assumption of risk

Boating, paddling, swimming, fishing and crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay involve risks, including drowning, capsizing, cold water, sudden storms, strong currents, boat traffic and injuries. By using the information on this website, you accept these risks and are responsible for your own decisions and safety, and for the safety of people with you. Wear a life jacket, check the official forecast before you go out, and do not rely on this website for navigation or safety decisions.
