BBMKG Warns of Maximum Tides Along Six Bali Coastal Areas

Denpasar — A coastal-flood warning is in effect across six areas of Bali from Nov. 8 through Nov. 11, 2026, according to the Balai Besar Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BBMKG) Region III Denpasar.

The warning covers the southern coast of Jembrana and Tabanan, as well as the coasts of Badung, Denpasar, Gianyar and southern Klungkung. BBMKG said maximum high tides may occur at different days and hours in each area during the four-day period.

The warning coincides with the new moon on Nov. 9, 2026, a phase that can increase maximum sea levels. The reported effects include disruption to loading and unloading at ports, activity in coastal settlements, salt ponds and inland fisheries.

Why it matters to Bali residents and visitors

For foreign residents and visitors, the warning applies to ordinary activity around the affected shoreline and ports, not only to specialist marine operations. Conditions may vary by location and time, so a coastal area that is unaffected at one hour may still face higher water later in the warning period.

The affected areas form a continuous stretch along Bali’s southern coast, extending from Jembrana in the west through Tabanan, Badung, Denpasar and Gianyar to southern Klungkung. Port operations, coastal homes and fisheries are among the activities identified as potentially affected by higher water.

BBMKG based the warning on water-level monitoring and tidal predictions. The agency’s national coastal-flood warning lists southern Bali as valid from Nov. 8 through Nov. 11, 2026, and identifies the same six areas. The warning does not state that all locations will experience maximum tides simultaneously.
