I wonder if there are benefits or good effects caused by tidal waves. I want to know what they are.

It does greatly circulate the water. It does wipes out some of the riffraff as well. a good population stabilizer.

Right before, when the tides goes way out to build up, fish are flopping on the sand! Anyone can grab it for free food!

They are called tsunami’s and not related to tides. They mix up sediments and bring new nutrients to the ocean. Supports the evolutionary theory of "punctuated equilibrium" vs. "gradualism", meaning that species evolve in quick spurts and not slowly over a long time, with tsunami’s having a role.

The possibility of the artificial stimulation of rogue wave phenomena, has attracted research funding from DARPA, an agency of the United States Department of Defense. Bahram Jalali and other researchers at UCLA studied microstructured optical fibers near the threshold of soliton supercontinuum generation and observed rogue wave phenomena. After modeling the effect, the researchers announced that they had successfully characterized the proper initial conditions for generating rogue waves in any medium.
