That is a good question since I have never checked the tides for there. But if I was to check I would use this site and click on Porpoise Bay or Boom Islet.

TWR's suggestion to reference Porpoise Bay is probably the easiest solution.
If you have a printed copy of the Pt. Atkinson tables, here are the corrections for sites along Sechelt Inlet from my copy of the Sunshine Coast and Area Tide Tables booklet:
Egmont
High Tide: Add 10 min. add 1.1ft.
Low Tide: Add 9 minutes subtract 0.1ft.
Skookumchuck Narrows
Add 1hr. 45min. plus 5min. for each foot of rise, 7min. for each foot of fall
Porpoise Bay
High Tide: Add 2hr. 50min, subtract 6.9ft.
Low Tide: Add 2hr., subtract 1.9ft.
That said, Tuwanek is one of the least current sensitive sites around here that I can think of, even on big exchanges you have to really pay attention to notice the water is moving.

What Scott says. You don't have to worry about and current there and I don't think low or high tide makes any difference to the sites. We were there Dec 27th and viz was at least 50 feet. Found a pair of wolf eels on the North Islet couple of gpo's plus a juvenille wolf eel on the South islet.

Never much current to worry about. Really the only reason to look at tide charts is to plan whether or not you will need to walk 5 feet or 50 from the street to the water. Point ak. works fine.
