Among the best times to visit Pulau Ubin is when it coincide with high and low tides. For anglers, estuarine fishes come alive with abundance of food churned by incoming and receding tides. Chek Jawa is best visited during times when tides are low when its shoals and rock pools exposed its myriad living creatures. In Singapore, tides are considered high when its above 3 metres and very low when its 0.3 metres and below.
Tide Tables Publications
NEA provides handy information which is permanently linked on the right of this page. MPA also provide tide prediction of the day. For the whole year, you’ll have to purchase their hard copy of Singapore Tide Tables Year 2012.
But you can also find tide tables prediction free for the
whole year or by selected date here.
For campers, its useful also to know about moon rises and moon phases (linked right). We look forward to moonless nights where we get to see stars and exploring the island with flashlights.
