Based on 1 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
The west coast (Long Beach, Khem Beach) is generally calm from late September through November, though conditions vary by year. The east coast is technically off-season during this period but is often swimmable in practice.

Phu Quoc's east coast is technically considered off-season when the west coast is rough, but in practice conditions are often fine for swimming.

Khem Beach and Sunset Town on the west coast are more scenic and typically calm until November, which is why they're commonly recommended. However, conditions vary year to year — some Septembers see storms, others are perfectly calm.
