That would be far too complicated for us mere mortals, you could try 'easytide' for on-line tidal predictions anywhere in the world.

To predict earth tidal schedules a lunar day which is 24 hrs and 50 minutes long is used. These extra 50 minutes causes tides to be at different times each day. A lunar day (moon) is the strongest influence on the earths tides. email redbayboats.com and ask for a Tide Table to work out wheather you need to add or subtract for the varies ports.

when the water is close then it's high tide
when the water is far away then it's low tide.

You need a tide table - if you search on your nearest port it should come up.
