Default Seabreeze and tides

The effect should be that of a change in apparent wind. Just like apparent wind created with the motion of the kite. If the seabreeze is say, 12 kts, and the outgoing tidal flow is 3 kts, then you have an apparent wind of 15 when riding out. Of course, going the opposite direction, the apparent wind will be 9kts. Any oceanographers out there?
