Abstract This study aims to observe tidal sea behavior in Bay of Sabang by using a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The research domain was obtained from SRTM15, which had been interpolated so that it has a spatial resolution Δx = Δy = 0.1 minutes (185 meters). As a generator force, the open boundaries model is given five main tidal components (M2, S2, K1, N2, O1) obtained from TPXO 7.2 data. The model is simulated for 31 days with time step based on CFL condition criteria. Our model verification is quite good when compared with TMD prediction data (r = 0.9996). It shows that our model can be used for tidal hydrodynamics studies in Bay of Sabang. The results show that tides in Bay of Sabang are predominantly mixed prevailing semi-diurnal (F = 0.857). The speed of tidal currents in Bay of Sabang is quite small both for spring and neap tides. The difference in velocity between spring and neap tides reaches 0.6 cm/s.
