Low Tides At The Beach

[Crypt36]

I want know at what times the water of Pattaya beach reaches it's ultimate low tides. I've been using this website but each time I show up it's hardly really low tide... Or maybe it is lowtide but the water just doesn't go back that far all year I don't know.

I like walking there when the beach is like 200m wide instead of the normal 20m but just can't figure out when this is?!

This is what I've been using but it don't work. Or as mentioned before it does but maybe the lowtide just isn't that low this time of the year.

This unscientific reply probably won't help, but on an annual basis I have noticed the very lowest tides are around July, August, September.

Maybe I am misinterpretating the tabel on the site and is LW infact Hightide and HW in fact lowtide...

Please let someone have some better info!!

This is probably as good as you'll get.

Here's the high and low tides for the whole of 2010 at Satahip. The times should be pretty close to Pattaya's.

Sattahip Tide Chart - 2010

Tides seem to cycle between 2 highs and lows each day to 1 high and low each day. June 2010 is very interesting, because for that month there is only a single day with 2 tides.

Even more strange, if you go through the various months you'll notice that occasionally there is only one hi tide and no low tide on that day at all and visa versa for one day of the year.

Edit: I take that back. Perhaps there is quite a difference between the tides at Sattahip and Pattaya. On the same website you can find the tides for Bangkok, and despite it's close distance from Sattahip, the tides times are totally different, even in terms of how many per day.

Suggest you use Koh Si Chang Koh Si Chang which appears more accurate. On the Mac there is a Tide Widget and though it doesn't ave Pattaya Koh Si Chang seems fairly close. High water at Pattaya is about 30 minutes before Koh Si Chang and Low water about 40 minutes after.

Thanks Graham. I examined the other thai cities on my website as well and at the moment the difference between high and low tide is just about 1m. Looking at your link I think these very low tides will start in april/may/june again because the difference is as much as 2m in these months!

find a very very flat sand beach, there the visual effect of tides will be maximum.

At my home, we have sometimes 12 meter tides...
