The West Java lowlands have a tropical monsoon climate, hot and humid. The rainy season is November-March (afternoon squalls), and the dry season is April-October.
On rainy days, fishing can continue if there are covered fishing seats (saung). As this cannot be confirmed, checking in advance is recommended.
