Surfing Waves

im trying to figure out a good routine to go out surfing, im doing it once or twice a week but honestly im not that good, i started about 4 months ago... anyway, im not sure what a better time to go at is, low or high tide?
ive gone low tide before at its peak and it was terible... the waves would brake right into the sand and that was it, although high tide there doesnt seem to be very many waves... so when would be a good time to go and get the longest amount of "fun time"?

Every break differs as to what state of tide it is. there is no right or wrong, just dfferent spots and what state they work best in.
Some may only work at and hour eather side of high and vice versa.

Where are you and where are you talking about?
