Why it matters to Komodo readers

Southern Flores is part of the wider sailing and diving environment around eastern Flores and nearby waters. A forecast that separates the listed wave height from a moderate-wave warning gives readers two signals to check before interpreting marine conditions: the forecast value for the entry and the potential higher category identified in the warning.

BMKG, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency, records the wind direction as east and the current direction as southeast at 0.9 knots. The page labels the listed 1.2 m wave height as low, while separately warning of moderate waves reaching 1.3 m.

BMKG’s high-wave warning page also identifies southern Flores waters among areas where strong winds may increase wave heights. Its listed warning range is 2.5–4 m.

Readers using the forecast should compare the valid period, wind gusts, wave category and any separate warning before making a marine assessment. BMKG’s page directs users to follow local authorities’ instructions.
