Tides?

Super low tides are correlated to "super moons".
It's also known as Super Full Moon, Super New Moon and Perigee Moon.

The next one is September 27 - Sunday.

Errr...
The CLOSEST full supermoon will be in September, 27 2015. (the big one)
The next supermoon is a full moon, coming on August 29, 2015.

Schedule is as follows...

The full moon supermoons – aka near-perigee full moons 2015:

The best hunting on the tides you have are early morning when the waves are calmer, one hour before Lowtide, and Pray for high winds from the east.
 

NOAA tidal charts are the best. You can query by day, week or month. I copy/paste into a word file and highlight the big negative ones for quick reference.
Here's a link: Tide Predictions - NOAA Tides & Currents
 

Anyone know how I can get a tide chart on freak low tides. A tide that's super low ocean city Maryland. Are they predicted?

The supermoons as ARRC pointed out. Regular full moons. And what the wind/weather/ocean is doing. If there is a storm out at sea the low tide might be much deeper and the opposite is true when its calm/no swell. But those tides are only so useful, you need to know what the sand is doing and how its moving on the beach/ocean floor.
 

Just remember, the super minus low tides ("king tides") that occur each year, don't in-&-of-themselves bode for good detecting. If the wet sand is "sterile", then the only thing those monster low tides do, is give you tons more room to walk around in, and find nothing ! So there should be some erosion going on (swells, on-shore winds, etc...), to complement the super minus tides. Otherwise super minus tides don't mean much, IMHO.
 

I have a nice tides app on my iPhone called Tide Graph Pro.
