Maybe this is only an issue for me, but does anyone have an tips for predicting when the two might coincide?

Here's a sample (external link) for your local tides...it gives a 3-day table.

The challenge for me is knowing whether the location I'm going to is going to be better at high tide or low tide.

Almost always low tide is the best time to be out. The low tide exposes mudflats and sandflats and the various bugs and worms and things that live there. That's what brings the birds in. Even eagles, here anyway, prefer low tide, so they can grab fish in much shallower water.
