It seems there was communication issues during past proposals.
flow_direction was introduced by sinks proposal in 2017 :
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:flow_direction%3Dboth
direction=both was mentioned in waterway=pressurised proposal to solve
situations when water goes down and can be pumped back in water pumped
power plants
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Hydropower_water_supplies#Pumped_storage_power_plants
Sounds like flow_direction is more suitable to deal with water flows

Apart from this issue, tidal=yes isn't the best option (recent discussions
had show that yes/no only tags should be completed with more representative
values)
What about flow_direction=tidal ?

All the best
