Tidal power still suffers intermittency, but that's an easier problem than unpredictability.

Being both intermittent and unpredictable create all sorts of design compromises and inefficiencies. Currently we deal with these electrical sources by either having them represent such an insignificant source, or by diluting the real cost of implementing them across all the other sources of electricity, or by subsidization.
