Tom, We are lucky in New York in that the Eldridge Tide and Pilot book contains some easy to read charts and graphs relating the current to the tide. This book is available at local Kayak stores. The book is just an prediction, heavy rain upstate, and wind can drastically effect things but it is a good starting point. But do be careful the currents are often severe, the East River is especially treacherous. A good place to meet local paddlers is the downtown boathouse, www.downtownboathouse.org.
