TL;DR
Late September in Phu Quoc can be unpredictable, with calm seas and sunny days alternating with wind and rain. By late October conditions are generally improving, though short heavy showers can still occur.
Phu Quoc is generally suitable by late October, as the drier season starts around October. Rain can still occur, but it is more often a heavy shower lasting a few hours followed by sunshine than nonstop rain for an entire 10-day trip.
In late September, including the northwest coast, conditions can be good for swimming when the sea is calm. However, it is not guaranteed: rainy and windy days are also possible at this time.
Families visiting in late September should keep flexible plans for rain and wind. Weather on Phu Quoc can change, so beach days may alternate with time at the hotel or island outings.
