Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Komodo has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 4.2 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Komodo
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.7 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.7 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 2.4 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Diving in Komodo today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- 1.4 ft swell at 9 s from the southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.9 mph current toward the north-northeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 6:43 am (6:28–6:58 am), high tide 12:30 pm (12:00–1:10 pm), low tide 6:23 pm (6:00–6:40 pm) and high tide 11:55 pm (11:40 pm–12:10 am)
- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.8 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 84.9–85.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:19 pm. Waning gibbous (88%), rising at 9:14 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, combines light wind and the sun high, though with current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Today the moon is 226,493 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:06–3:06 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 7:33–8:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:44–9:44 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
