Komodo National Park — BMKG, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, warned of waves reaching 2,5 metres in several Nusa Tenggara Timur waters from 13 to 16 November 2026.
The warning includes the southern Sape Strait, western Sumba Strait, Savu Sea, waters south of Sumba, waters north and south of Sabu-Raijua, waters north of Kupang-Rote, and waters south of Timor-Rote.
BMKG said winds across Nusa Tenggara Timur were generally from the northeast to southeast at 6–22 knots during the period.
The agency also identified the waters of Komodo National Park among areas where the strongest winds could increase wave heights.
Why it matters for Komodo sailings
BMKG said the conditions could increase sailing risks for vessels operating in the affected waters. The warning is therefore relevant to boats travelling around Komodo National Park during the stated period.
The warning was issued as a three-day maritime-weather advisory for Nusa Tenggara Timur covering 13–16 November 2026. BMKG urged fishermen to remain alert to sailing risks in waters affected by medium to high waves.
The report does not state a separate closure of Komodo National Park or a confirmed suspension of sailings.
