Snook, that all depends where you are fishing... For me, time of day, and how much light there is is more important than tides in most places, and if your only staying in newport, you wont be fishing any estuaries, which are really a tide dependant fishing place.
I know nothing about fishing for snook, but with bass, you want rough water, low light conditions, moving water(ie strong tides) and most importantly some sort of structure in front of where your casting.
I've always fished with the rule of thumb that off the rocks, 1 hour before high tide is the best, as bass like to forage around in the wash picking up crabs, and baitfish in areas that might have been dry at mean low tide..
bring some Korkers as the rocks around Newport can be very slippery especially at low tide...
Good luck finding bass, thats easy. Catching them is another story
