Ocean tides are the phenomenon of periodic sea-level change on the coast or in the ocean. There are a number of basic requirements that should be considered when planning to record the tidal data in the field, such as the length, the location, and most importantly the interval of observation. Unique features of Indonesian waters induce several types of tide observed. Focusing on the applicability of altimetry satellites in obtaining tidal harmonics to demonstrate the advantages of it. Hiring altimetry data from Topex and Jason series from RADS server could derive 25 years data of SSH. Using Formzhal-equation, the construction of tidal types has done. Mixed prevailing diurnal and diurnal types commonly found in the western part of Indonesia, while mixed prevailing semidiurnal types appeared in the eastern part.
