TL;DR
September-October is shoulder season in Da Nang with unpredictable weather — some years are sunny, others hit by typhoons. Early October tends to be calmer, late October more storm-prone.
Last year early October had great weather, but conditions worsened by the end of the month.
There's no guaranteed forecast — some travelers hit typhoons and heavy rain in September, others saw bad weather only start in late October. Conditions vary a lot year to year.
A typhoon can hit at any point in the season, or it can be sunny even during peak rainy season — no guarantees, so checking last year's weather archive for the same dates can help.
September has also seen typhoons and heavy downpours in some years, so it's not a guaranteed safe month either.
September is usually still fine, but weather tends to shift for the worse from mid-October.
During shoulder season (October) the sea was calm with light waves, and tropical rain showers were brief — overall the trip was pleasant.
Weather is unpredictable — October 2024 was excellent, but October 2025 brought a typhoon.
