We investigate cellular automata where some global quantity varies periodically or quasiperiodically with time. We find that these systems are highly predictable, and can be rather well described by a set of mean-field variables. We conclude that this is not a collective phenomenon - where different subsystems are supposed to synchronize - but rather like many very weakly coupled oscillators fluctuating around one exact frequency. The global quantity measured is a mean taken over all these subsystems, and gets more precise the larger the system is.
