TL;DR
Travelers report that on windy days the central part of Long Beach can be poor for swimming, with big waves and trash both in the water and on the shore. Calmer water is more likely on the east coast, while Khem Beach and the north of the island are commonly considered as cleaner alternatives.
Location correction: New World is on Khem Beach in southern Phu Quoc, while Premier Village is farther south on the peninsula. Ong Lang is on the west coast, so Khem should not be described as being in the north of the island.
Around Marina, the sea may already be unattractive for swimming in January: it can be calm and warm but look greenish and swampy.
On a recent day, the central section of Long Beach was reported as nearly impossible for swimming: waves were high and there was a lot of trash both in the water and along the shoreline. In that kind of weather, this area is not a good choice for a calm swim.
During the same period, the east coast was described as noticeably calmer than Long Beach, with smaller waves and cleaner water. However, the beach itself could still be littered, so it is not necessarily a perfect clean-beach option.
If the goal is to find a cleaner beach in Phu Quoc, travelers often start by checking Khem Beach and the north of the island, especially after a bad experience in central Long Beach. These are considered alternatives when the central west coast is rough and dirty.
