Kupang - General Info

Where is Kupang?

Kupang is a busy port situated at the western end of the island of Timor.  It is a popular Port of Entry for entering Indonesia from Darwin, Australia or for clearing out of Indonesia on the way to Australia.

Entrance Notes and Cautions for Kupang:

The anchorage is exposed to the NW and a lee shore in most weather. Conditions can get boisterous in the afternoon when the northerly breeze sweeps down the anchorage, quite strong at times, raising a nasty wind chop. Skippers should be diligent and keep an anchor watch on board, in particular in the afternoons, for any dragging or neighbouring yachts doing the same. Fortunately, this weather is rare for July when most yachts visit.

Cruiser Highlights for Kupang:

Good provisioning stop if heading into or out of Indonesia.  Hospitals, hardware stores, supermarkets and restaurants are close by the anchorage off Teddy's Beach.

Position:

10°10’S, 123°34’E.
