yep

My calander at work has the moon phases. I know everytime it's full(or new) high water is between 8-9 at moriches to shinnecock inlets. from there I know the Shinnecock canal will close it's locks approx 2.5 hrs before high and the NorthShore of the island between PortJeff to Mattituck will work out about 4hrs from the South side high water.
Actual high slack varies of course with wind and current conditions. Once you've got that nailed down in yer head you will know the tides fairly well by either looking at the moon phase on yer calander or simply remembering the last full or new. Best part is...It will ALWAYS be the same year after year!
