Sea-level rise is a big problem in the future. Indonesia is a country with the potential impacts of sea-level rise; therefore, the continuous monitoring of sea-level variability becomes urgent. Globally, sea-level rise is up to 3 mm year −1 estimated by satellite altimetry data. How about the sea level rise in Indonesia, particularly in western Indonesia such as Java sea, Karimata Strait? This paper aims to estimate the sea-level rise in the western Indonesian seas, such as the Java Sea and the Karimata Strait. The estimation was derived using the Cryosat-2 altimetry data. The data used is in a period of 9 years (2010 to 2018). The trend in the period is negative 4 mm year −1 . The area also has a low correlation with ENSO with a value negative 0.25
