Tides vs. Time of Day

I've got a predicament. It's August, which means the strong morning low tides are a few weeks away. For a strong low tide, I now have to fish in the evening. Problem is, the sea breeze typically yields rain and wind almost every afternoon. It's part of the summer pattern.
Do I fish the better tide and risk the weather, or do I fish the lesser tide in the morning with better weather? It's a tough call.
My gut feeling suggest that I should fish the a.m. tides for a few more weeks. Worst-case scenario: I get in the habit of getting up early and fishing. Having the routine down pat is key, particularly if you're up at 4:30, 5 a.m. We'll see.
