Currents and wind are definitely in-play. Do you know which area the Nationals will be held in (which YC is hosting will probably let me know where they'll sail)? I used to sail against the Thunderbirds in my last boat (Ranger 28); there are probably 2 to 3 you'll need to focus on. Which one are you sailing? I could potentially find you crew with local knowledge or skippers to give you a briefing when you arrive...
