Komodo tide forecasts for 20 September show three key turning points

Labuan Bajo — A tide forecast for Komodo on Sunday, 20 September 2026 lists three turning points in the water level, with the highest predicted height of about 2.3 metres in the early morning and a single low-water period around midday, according to tidal forecast platforms.

Data from TIDES4FISHING’s Komodo forecast for that date shows three entries: a high tide at 03:33 with a height of 2.3 metres, a low tide at 12:45 at 1.2 metres, and a second high tide at 21:51 at 2.1 metres, with a tidal coefficient indicated in the low range of 31–36 for the day.

An independent service, TideChecker, also lists three main stages for Komodo on Sunday, 20 September 2026, but with slightly different figures. Its table shows high water at 03:25 at 1.75 metres and low water at 12:21 at 0.92 metres, presented explicitly as times in GMT+8 for Komodo.

Sunday’s listed tide times

Based on the available forecasts, Komodo on 20 September 2026 is expected to see one low-water period in the middle of the day and higher levels in the early morning and late evening.

• Early-morning high water: TIDES4FISHING lists a high tide at 03:33 with a height of 2.3 metres and a tidal coefficient of 31, while TideChecker reports a high tide at 03:25 at 1.75 metres, noted as GMT+8.
• Midday low water: TIDES4FISHING’s forecast shows a low tide at 12:45 at 1.2 metres with a coefficient of 36, and TideChecker lists a low tide at 12:21 at 0.92 metres.
• Evening high water: TIDES4FISHING records a second high tide at 21:51 at 2.1 metres with a coefficient of 36; TideChecker’s Komodo entry for the date focuses on the morning high and midday low in the summary but notes that its daily tide times are given in GMT+8.
• Tidal coefficient: The 31–36 range reported by TIDES4FISHING indicates relatively low tidal amplitude over the day, while other tables such as TheTideChart and SeaTemperatu.re also describe 20 September 2026 as a low-range day, even though their precise times and heights differ.

The discrepancies between platforms in both times and heights are significant enough that users should treat any single table as indicative rather than definitive.

How operators might use the tables

For boat travel, diving or snorkelling plans, the forecast information is best used as a planning reference rather than a formal clearance for departure or site safety.

Actual operating decisions depend on factors including the route, vessel type, landing conditions, weather, currents and the operator’s local assessment. None of the consulted online tide tables specifies conditions at individual Komodo anchorages, beaches or reefs.

Operators can compare the listed stages with their own route plans, pilotage experience and on-the-day observations before confirming schedules. Visitors are advised to ask their boat or tour provider which tide information, weather forecast and navigation assessment are being used for the day’s itinerary.

The relatively low coefficient or small height range described for 20 September by several services is a descriptive indicator of expected tidal range, not a guarantee of calm seas or weak currents. The forecast entries do not explain how those numbers should be applied to a specific excursion or landing point.

Context

TIDES4FISHING’s Komodo page provides a seven-day forecast covering 19–25 September 2026, showing that the pattern and reported heights vary across the period, with some days listing three turning points and others four. Other multi-day tables, such as those on TideChecker and regional tide-chart sites, similarly present 20 September 2026 as a neap or low-range day compared with surrounding dates.

Because online tide schedules for Komodo differ by platform and are generally described as forecasts or estimates, skippers and visitors are encouraged to cross-check several services and, where possible, consult official harbour or hydrographic information before relying on a specific time or height for operational decisions.
