Buoy SAXG1, 22 miles from the gauge. It reports no wave height, so seas are not in the rating. Whether it is workable out there, not whether anything will bite. Nobody can forecast that.

Reading this honestly

The buoy is 22 miles from this gauge, which is stated for a reason: sea state at a buoy offshore can be nothing like conditions in a sheltered channel, and a water temperature reading a river mouth away may be several degrees out.

The rating is about wind, seas and warnings - whether a small boat can work comfortably and safely. It is not a bite forecast, and the tide times above are not one either. Tide stage matters to a great many species and every angler has a theory about which stage; we are not going to convert those theories into a number and present it as data.
