TL;DR
October and November are ideal — no extreme heat and the sea is warm. December through February also works, though January and February can be cooler.
Early November marks the start of the season at Khem Beach, but it can be particularly busy because school holidays begin in late October. Family crowds may ease after the first week of November.
October is considered a transition month at Khem Beach, while the more reliable beach season generally runs from November through late March; April is the transition in the opposite direction. Conditions vary by year, so hotel demand can be a practical indicator: when a typical nightly rate rises from about VND 400,000 to VND 1.2 million, the season has likely started.
Based on firsthand experience, December through February at Khem Beach is perfectly fine for a beach holiday. Despite the official season ending in November, conditions remain good in practice.
Late December brings noticeably cooler weather, and January–February are considered off-season for beach swimming. October and November are the sweet spot: heat eases off while the sea stays warm year-round.
To compare Khem Beach and the Grand World area by season, looking at photos from November–February versus April–May clearly shows the difference in beach conditions.
