The tide itself does not matter. What matters more are ambient temperature and currents.
I had noticed that Sept - November the water would be warmer than the rest of the year. The first thing that helped is the perceived difference between the water temp and the temp outside. The second thing is that at that time of year the coastal currents change and they come up from the warmer waters of the south as opposed to coming from the north which are colder temps.

I know it should make no difference but low tide just "seems" to be warmer... moreover, there are so many factors that enter into the relative temperature at the beach, that this seems an almost impossible question to truly resolve.

It would depend on which current flow your in,Caribbean flowing north up the east coast of the US.If yes,low tide would feel warmer,but would it really be so.Or just you perceiving it,or the shallow water absorbing more solar heat,warming quicker,because its shallow.Water and heat...goes by mass,a cup of hot water is not as hot as a gallon of water the same temp.So,I will say High Tide,only because of the mass.

Tides don't matter. Only things that really matter are season and time of day.

The temperature does not change.
