  • The existence of hydro-oceanographic information such as tides plays an essential role in supporting coastal areas' transportation. This study aims to compare the tidal analysis results in Mandangin Island, Sampang Regency, East Java using the Admiralty and Least Square methods. The data used in this study are tidal data for May and November 2020, which represent the dry and rainy seasons in Indonesia. Tide data are obtained from the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) at one-hour intervals. From this research, it can be concluded that the tidal types generated from the Admiralty and Least Square methods in Mandangin Island, East Java, are mixed types with semidiurnal tendencies. The use of the Admiralty and Least Square methods results in the difference in the harmonic components' amplitude values. The M2 and O1 components have an enormous difference in May 2020, with amplitude values of 0.0003 and 0.0002, and the difference in the amplitude values of the harmonic components also occurred in November 2020. The M2 component has the most significant difference compareto other components, namely 0.0011. The components O1, P1, and MS4 in the same month result in a relatively small difference in amplitude values with values of 0.0002, 0.0002, and 0.0001. For further tidal research, data corrections should be considered, a nodal correction to produce more accurate observational data. This correction can use the T_Tide program with constants obtained from the analysis process.
