The purpose of this paper is two-fold, (i) to establish the existence of a unique local solution (in time) of an initial boundary-value problem for the tidal equations in bay areas and inlets, and (ii) to show the existence of a time-periodic solution of the equations when the tide raising force satisfies a condition involving the amplitude of the force, the depth of the sea and the domain considered.
