Comprehensive breakdown of high dry season, green season, ocean wave conditions on East vs West coasts, water temperatures, and a monthly traveler calendar.

Phu Quoc Seasons & Weather Guide: Best Time to Visit

Tropical Climate of Phu Quoc Island

Nestled in the Gulf of Thailand, Phu Quoc enjoys tropical warmth year-round with average air temperatures of +28...+32°C and bath-warm sea water (+28...+29°C).

1. High Dry Season (November — April)

The undisputed peak season. Expect sunny skies, low humidity, and flat, calm sea conditions along the entire western coast.

West Coast Beaches

Long Beach, Ong Lang, and Vung Bau become mirror-like turquoise lagoons, perfect for swimming with kids, paddleboarding, and sunset dining.

Marine Cruises & Snorkeling

Underwater visibility in the southern An Thoi archipelago reaches up to 20 meters, offering world-class snorkeling around Gam Ghi and May Rut coral reefs.

2. Green Season (May — October)

Showers are typically short tropical downpours lasting 30–45 minutes in late afternoons or nights. The island turns vibrant green, waterfalls flow with crystal mountain water, and hotel rates drop significantly.

East Coast Haven (Sao Beach & Khem Beach)

While the west coast gets breezes, the eastern coast remains completely sheltered with powder-white sand and calm crystal waters.
