August is high for Komodo.
August stays at the dry-season and tourist peak — the driest month of the year (around 10mm) with strong trade winds, lots of sun and warm but breezy conditions near 31°C/23°C.
Like July, conditions are excellent and reliable: clear sunrises, calm enough seas between wind gusts, and superb visibility for diving. And like July, it's crowded and expensive, with the best boats and hotels booked far ahead. The park's daily visitor cap can make permits tighter, so go through your operator early.

Komodo in August — Full Picture
August stays at the dry-season and tourist peak — the driest month of the year (around 10mm) with strong trade winds, lots of sun and warm but breezy conditions near 31°C/23°C.
Like July, conditions are excellent and reliable: clear sunrises, calm enough seas between wind gusts, and superb visibility for diving. And like July, it's crowded and expensive, with the best boats and hotels booked far ahead. The park's daily visitor cap can make permits tighter, so go through your operator early.
The strong winds are the main quirk — they keep the heat bearable and the air dry, but can roughen exposed crossings and kick up dust on the islands. Early starts beat the crowds at Padar and Pink Beach.
August is a dependable, if busy and pricey, month. If your dates are fixed to a summer holiday, it works well — just lock in bookings as early as you can.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Peak-season dry heat — about 31°C/23°C, very sunny, strong winds. Light clothing, strong sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, rash guard, and an evening layer.
