Mid-October to mid-November on Phu Quoc is considered a favorite period: swimming and sunbathing are still possible, with only occasional rain. November marks the tail end of the rainy season - no tourist crowds yet, no extreme heat, and the sea is fairly clean, though some rain can still occur.
Mid-October to mid-November
On Phu Quoc, rains are ending by October. Peak rainy season is mid-June to mid-September, though the last two summers have been fairly dry with rains shifting somewhat toward autumn.
Peak rain: mid-June to mid-September
Based on a trip around Vietnam, the full tourist season on Phu Quoc starts from late November (for comparison, Nha Trang was swimmable until mid-November before rains began).
Season starts: late November
In late July, Mui Ne/Phan Thiet has waves in winter, while Phu Quoc is in its high season at that time of year.
Weather on Phu Quoc resembles Mui Ne: heavy rains in November (last year there was a typhoon and flooding), from December it gets dry with rare rain that passes quickly or falls at night. Waves can hit the central beach - better to go to calmer beaches or islands then. January can still be cloudy and rainy.
