TL;DR
Da Nang shifts into rainy season from September, with October and November usually the wettest and windiest months. It’s not ideal for beach time: the sea is often rough, heavy rain and typhoon disruptions can happen, while December is usually calmer but still cooler and less sunny than spring or summer.
If you are choosing between autumn and early winter, October and November are usually the toughest months in Da Nang: expect long rainy spells, strong wind, and rough surf at My Khe Beach. It is still possible to live there for a few months, but not if you want reliable beach weather and daily sunshine.
September in Da Nang is usually a transition month: you can still get beach-friendly days, but the weather becomes less stable than in summer. For a 3-month stay, starting in September is easier, but by October-November you should expect rain and fewer dependable seaside days.
December is often better than the peak rainy months, but it is still not the classic dry-season Da Nang: the sea can remain choppy, and both the water and evenings feel cooler than in high season. It works fine for remote work and a relaxed stay, but for a classic beach holiday many travelers prefer heading farther south, for example to Nha Trang.
The main downside of Da Nang in autumn is not just rain, but occasional typhoons and localized flooding during some weeks. For October-November, it is smarter to book accommodation with good area reviews in An Thuong or closer to the center, keep flexible plans, and not count on daily trips to Ba Na Hills or Hai Van Pass.
