#1 for beach weather
Best match
The single best month — lowest rainfall, most sunshine, and An Bang Beach at its finest.
#2 for beach weather
Strong option
Hot, dry, and busy — peak beach season at An Bang, but Easter crowds fill the Ancient Town.

#5 for beach weather
Strong option
Christmas Hoi An is genuinely magical — lanterns and festive lights, though rain is still frequent.
#6 for beach weather
Worth considering
Still very wet and flood-prone — conditions improving slowly, but not yet safe to plan around.
#7 for beach weather
Worth considering
Western summer peak — the most visited month, and ironically not the best weather.
#8 for beach weather
Worth considering
Hottest and most crowded — most visitors choose this month and most travellers who know pick differently.
#9 for beach weather
Worth considering
Rain climbing sharply — still busy with tourists who don't yet realise the weather has shifted.
#10 for beach weather
Worth considering
Typhoon season — 272mm of rain, named storm risk, and An Bang Beach completely off-limits.
#11 for beach weather
Avoid
FLOODING SEASON — the Thu Bon River regularly breaks its banks and streets fill with water. Do not visit.
