Gives you time to beat the lunch time rush, setup your bbq and take it easy for the bbq lunch and into the afternoon.

If you have a night time one it'll be hard to get a table in the mid afternoon.
For future reference: 10 o'clock seems a prime time; got there almost at 10 on the dot, and there were barely any cars parked and less than a third of tables taken.

Half an hour later, however, the streetside parking was nearly full and tables were completely gone.

Also: between 3 and 5 especially, they towed at least half a dozen cars from behind the Beach Cafe (East spanish banks one), the ones parked on the south side of the road. Looked like the guys were gonna pull in a pretty penny tonight.
