Rear light (white metal framework tower, 7m high) (323m N of front light) On the alignment (004°) of the lights, the track leads within a channel marked by beacons and buoys, passing W of the pierhead at Tanjung Batuhitam, then E of Karang Paku (00°55.0'N 104°25.6'E), a reef of sand and stones with some low bushes on it, then between the fringing reefs of the E extremity of Pulau Penyengat, and the town below the fort, then W of a lightbuoy (starboard hand) standing 0.25nm NNW of the fort. A stranded wreck lies close E, then into the inner roadstead. The port basin has depths in the range of 3.5-4.0m LWS.

Range, 1.24m (springs), 0.56m (neaps). The tide is mixed semi diurnal. Currents: The effect of the monsoon wind makes sea conditions bad from Oct-Mar. Wave height can reach 2.0m and current in the range 0.9-1.0kt.

Local weather: The dry season takes place between July and August and during the rest of the year it rains on most days. Heavy, short rain showers accompanied by heavy thunder occurs in December. Temperatures are in the range 28°-29°C. Generally the visibility is good particularly in the rainy season between showers. Fog can occur near the coastline in early morning, especially after rain, during Nov-May. During the period Jun-Sep, the visibility is poor due to fog. During strong S and W winds, there is often a considerable sea which may affect loading/unloading cargo at the anchorage.
