calculating tides

Is there a reliable method to calculate the times of strongest and weakest gravitational pull of the moon upon objects at a specific location on earth, in effect a high and low tide? We considered using tide times, but they factor in variables such as ocean currents and coastal flows, which would adversly affect our results. Is there a formula that can give us a good answer?
