A rectilinear tidal current is a type of tidal current that flows in a straight line, typically characterized by predictable patterns influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. These currents are usually found in coastal areas, particularly in narrow straits, estuaries, and bays where the tidal forces create strong, directional water movements. They can significantly affect navigation, sediment transport, and local ecosystems.
