This study was conducted from  November 2017 in Rupat Strait, Riau Province. The analysis of model was done in Laboratorium of Physical Oceanography, Departement of  Marine Science, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, University of Riau. The research aims to understand the wave and tidal current on high tide (spring tide condition) in Rupat Strait. The significant wave height is about 0.12-0.90 m/s. The current speed  is about 0.18-0.78 m/s. The result of the study indicate that at spring tide condition, the tidal current from Malaka Strait flows up to Rupat Strait by northern and eastern part of Rupat Strait. This condition  influences distribution of sediments in Rupat Strait the cause of the changes coastline
