I’m gonna take a crack at this. I also have my boat in a slip and understand the trailering and un-trailering BS that comes with it.
For one, there is going to be little to no wind the days prior so water levels should be close to baseline all things considered
The tidal range is around 0.5ft that day according to windfinder. You have the wind which will likely save the day blowing towards the west at 5-15mph.
In theory, based off the location of Hopedale, I would say the east wind will likely offset the mostly weak outgoing tide and likely augment the incoming tide.
During the blunted morning fall, going to need to find choke points and tributaries to get higher velocity water movement. I would think the usual shrimpy marsh spots would be good, but only in places that usually have good water flow anyway like Petes Lagoon, Muscle Bay, and even where multiple bayous meet like the mouth of Crooked bayou.
During the afternoon incoming tide, you can really fish the same spots, but choke points might see more tide than you want to fish and then larger flats and ponds with lower velocity water may be better. If you plan on staying close to the launch, place like Bayou St. Malo might be good. Since the tide and wind will be going the same direction, maybe you can drift across some of these flats with success.
