Hello everyone, I have the opportunity to go to a mudflat for 1 week in September. There is the tide schedule in September at this location. What is the best week to make the most of the mudflat? During high or low tides?
The intertidal mudflat become better during low tides?

The most important thing to know about tide data is
where (the location) the measurements are taken/forecast. Depending on the contours of the shoreline, high and low tide times can vary considerably (sometimes by hours). It can take a long time for tidal waters to fill or recede from points inland from the coast.

Are you agree with these following facts?
The mud stay longer out from the water during the lowest tides (intertidal mud) and can make it less watery, the quicksand could be thicker and better? We also have more time to go in.
During the highest tides, we can go farther from the coast, which allows us to find deeper mud. But we have less time to play with it.
