I very well could be wrong, but I really think that depends on where and when you are fishing. IE: Big difference on where I will target if the wind is NE and it's May as opposed to NE in October.
Wind against tide; new moon or quarter moon...
How much wind? Where I fish, a south wind and a south facing beach would be fine IF the wind is, say, less than ten knots.
Another area I fish I hate a NW wind in my face, but a spot not very far from there really works with a NW in my face.
What I'm trying to say is that wind direction is almost (to me at least) as important as tide. If I've picked a tide to target, the wind will dictate where I'm headed and that will vary based on time of year etc, etc. Or the wind might help to decide what tide - high flood might become high ebb on a different wind. Then it gets logged and added to the info used to decide where I'm going next week or month or year.
