Where Should You Go Kitesurfing In Vietnam?

Whether you’re looking for a Vietnamese location that offers good kitesurfing for beginners or something that’s more suited to experienced kiteboarders, Mũi Né is probably the best place to base yourself.  The resort town, situated by the South China Sea in the Southeastern part of Vietnam, has a really chilled and friendly vibe.

There’s apparently a good mixture of locals, kiters on holiday, and travellers making their way through Asia in Mũi Né. It’s long beach, lined with palm-trees, and steady wind conditions make it a great place for windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, and numerous other water-based sports.

Due to where it’s situated geographically, Mũi Né is a popular weekend getaway for people living, working, or visiting Ho Chi Minh. The town is well equipped to handle visitors with its various hotels, restaurants, and shops.

When Should You Go Kitesurfing In Vietnam?

The best months for a Vietnamese kitesurfing holiday are November, December, January, February, and March. In the summer months, winds in Mũi Né aren’t as vigorous. Because of this, it’s probably a time of year more suited to beginners.

Rainy season is July and August in Vietnam. This means the weather conditions can be refreshingly cool. If you’re concerned that a rainy season might dampen your fun, it’s worth bearing in mind that Mũi Né gets some of the lowest rainfall figures in all of Vietnam.

Occasionally, between September and December in particular, the waves can get alarmingly high. It is not advisable for beginners to head out when the conditions are like this. Most of the time, however, there’s always a chance for novice kiters to head out into the water.
