Diving Anacapa on a Spring Tide?

[Mantasscareme]

I've already posted this question on the general dive forum, and someone suggested making it region-specific, so here goes: I'm going to Anacapa on August 9th, a full moon, and a really strong shift between daytime low and high tides predicted. I know that some dive desinations are really tide-dependent (anywhere where drift diving is the norm). Does anyone know how tidal currents effect diving in Anacapa, and whether or not abnormal tides mean that there'll be a risk that some of the sites (particularly interested in Cathedral Cove and the sea lion rookery) will be swept out and undiveable. I'd have no problem rescheduling if neccessary.

I just went to anacapa during a full moon. very strong currents at some places, lots of sites not diveable. Still, we had 4 great dives. I saw 3 giant sea bass. bat rays on every dive. if you are on the peace, they will find you good spots.
