Seiche oscillations in a free entrance bay are investigated within the framework of the linear theory of long waves in two-dimensional formulation. Analytical solution for a rectangular basin of constant depth for the case when the nodal line of the level is located at the basin entrance is obtained. It is shown that allowance for two-dimensional spatial character is important for transverse seiches: the wave currents depend on two spatial coordinates, and their amplitudes are the functions of t
