Abstract
The Model simulation of tidal current was carried out by using software Surface Water Modeling System 8,1 to determine the pattern of tidal current at the out water pond of the Tanjung Priok port. This research was conducted on june to july 2009 to get field data at out side water port of Tanjung Priok Port. Data processing was done on September-October 2009 at the Hidrooceanography Department, Indonesia Navy, Ancol, North Jakarta The data were used such as, ground data which was the direction data and the speed, and The height of water. The results of this research showed that the type of tide in outside waters pond of the Tanjung Priok port was diurnal with the value of formzhal 3,55. The current condition on the flood was moving to the south side (going to beach) and on ebb was moving to the north side (going to sea). The Maximum speed of tide current on spring tide was range between 0,0003 - 0,018 m/s, Whereas, on the neap tide were range between 0,0005-0,015 –m/s
