The Lowdown
Alright, let me, Rusty, break this down for you. The first stretch is a real bummer. From Monday the 17th all the way to the 27th of August, it’s a total flat spell. The swell is barely a ripple, period is all over the place, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” You’re not missing a thing.
But hold on, because the end of the month and the start of September is where the ocean finally remembers its job. The first real sign of life is on Friday the 28th of August. The morning will see a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a solid 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (152), and with glassy, clean conditions and a light NNE breeze, it’s surfable. The real standout, though, is Sunday the 31st of August. The afternoon is looking at a solid 4ft swell from the ENE, with a 16-second period and a fantastic cross-offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy is strong (693), and the forecast is for “very good surf conditions.” That’s the one to mark on the calendar.
Then we hit Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning is the pick of the entire run. A clean 4ft ENE swell, still that lovely 16-second period, and cross-offshore winds from the NW. The energy is very strong (707). The water is a balmy 87°, which is about average for the time of year. My Khe / Da Nang is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break, and it’s exposed to the swell. The optimum direction is NE, so that ENE swell is a nice angle. It can get crowded sometimes, so get there early. The afternoon is just as good, with a 4ft swell from the ENE, a 15-second period, and light cross-offshore winds from the WSW. The energy is still strong (555). For a beach break, that long period can make the waves a bit straight, but the conditions are clean enough that it should still offer some fun lines.
So, bottom line: a long, flat stretch, then a quality window from the 31st of August through the 1st of September. That’s the sweet spot. The Sunday and Tuesday are your best days.
Rusty.
