TL;DR
July–August is hot beach season with waves; excursions are doable early morning. January is cool and rainy — not ideal for beach holidays.
In late June the sea in Da Nang is excellent — great for swimming, hot weather with little rain. Reported as one of the best times for a beach holiday.
Ba Na Hills is a good alternative to the beach during hot months — the mountain air is noticeably cooler, making long walks comfortable. Two days is the sweet spot: first visit in the morning, second in the late afternoon to catch the evening lights and rides without crowds. A third day is unnecessary.
Early January in Da Nang tends to be cool and rainy — not ideal for beach holidays. Beachfront hotels with private beach access exist, but swimming conditions are generally poor at this time of year.
August in Da Nang is warm and sunny, but the sea can be choppy with noticeable waves. It's generally a good beach month, though rough surf may limit swimming on some days.
Early July brings intense heat in Da Nang — even a short walk to the market feels exhausting. Day trips to Hue and Hoi An are doable but should be planned for early morning to avoid the worst of the heat.
