The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Da Nang over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we are totally skunked. Flat to tiny, messy junk. From Wednesday 19 August right through to Thursday morning 27 August, the swell is pitiful – we're looking at waves under 3 ft with weak energy. Some of those afternoons are glassy, sure, but with nothing to ride, glass doesn't mean a thing. Don't bother waxing up yet.
The whole picture shifts on Thursday 27 August afternoon when a proper groundswell finally arrives out of the ENE with a period of 16 seconds. The energy jumps strong, and by Friday 28 August it peaks out with serious power. That is a serious pulse of long-period energy. We'll see waves pushing 3 ft, but with that 16-second period, it'll have plenty of punch. The wind gods are smiling too -- Friday afternoon is looking glassy with a SSW breeze, making for some of the cleanest conditions we've seen in a while. This is your standout window: Friday 28 August is easily the best day on offer. The water is a toasty 87°, which is about normal for the time of year.
Now, there's a catch for the sand-bottomed beach breaks. A 16-second period like that can make the waves jack up fast and close out on the steeper sections. My Khe might be a bit tricky on the dropping tide; look for the sandbars that give it some shape. This isn't a beginner's swell – that period and power makes it feel much bigger than the 3 ft suggests, so keep your wits about you. The energy holds into Saturday morning 29 August, but then the wind swings NNW and cranks to 19 mph by the afternoon, turning it into a mess.
After that, we're back into the doldrums. Sunday 30 August through to the end of the forecast window on Thursday 3 September is all tiny, weak junk again with no energy and onshore or cross winds. The swell direction shifts around, but the heights barely reach 2 ft, and the periods are short. Another long gap of flat, unrideable conditions sets in.
So to sum it up: wait it out until Friday 28 August. That's your one true window for a decent session and the conditions should be pretty special for a few hours. Don't hold your breath for the second week.
Rusty.

Information about the My Khe / Da Nang Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for My Khe / Da Nang provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at My Khe / Da Nang can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
