Tidal dynamics in estuaries have long been the subject of intensive scientific interest. An adequate understanding of tidal wave propagation in estuaries is of great concern. In this study, a hydrodynamic analytical model for tidal wave propagation proposed by [1] and ameliorated later [2] has been applied to the Sebou river estuary. For given topography, friction, and tidal amplitude at the seaward boundary, the velocity amplitude, the wave celerity, the tidal damping, and the phase lag along the estuary axis are calculated.
