Titan is tidally locked so the same face always points to Saturn, but this is an average - like our own Moon with its slightly elliptical orbit, it varies in distance and sweeps out its orbit according to that odd area-rule that Kepler discovered, while it spins majestically at a steady rate.
The consequence is libration - Titan will nod back and forth as it orbits, so tides will slowly sweep back and forth across a small area around the mean Saturn-facing point. The tides will also swell when Titan is close to its Primary and fade as Titan recedes.
John Rehling has been discussing this over on Alex's group and suggests east-west tidal channels, circular fractures on the Saturn-facing side, and maybe even fluids welling-up out of a porous ground at high tide and settling back into it at low tide...
