The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day window for Da Nang. Honestly, it’s a tough outlook for the My Khe stretch. We’ve got swells coming and going, but the conditions just aren’t lining up to make anything worthwhile for most of the run.
The water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is basically bathwater and about average for this time of year, so at least you won't need a wetsuit.
Right off the bat, from now through the end of this week, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got poor surf with small, weak waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The first real chance to even get a wet suit on comes on the morning of Thursday the 17th. You’ll see a tiny bump of energy (102) with a clean, glassy 3 ft swell from the ENE. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Friday morning the 18th is more of the same—glassy with a 3 ft ENE swell and a little more energy (125). For a beginner, these are the only windows that are even worth paddling out for this first week.
After that, we hit a long, flat patch. From Saturday the 19th right through to the 26th, the energy drops way off, the winds stay messy, and the wave heights are pathetic. There are several days where you’ll be looking at flat, ankle-slashing conditions.
The most interesting thing in the whole run happens late in the second week. On the morning of Monday the 21st, a long-period groundswell from the ENE arrives, period hitting 17 seconds. That’s a proper long-period swell, coming straight from the deep blue. The energy spikes up to 319, which is solid. The catch? The swell height is only around 2 ft, and the wind is a light cross-onshore. This is a classic setup where the long period makes the waves more powerful and better shaped for a beach break like My Khe, but the size is just too small to really get excited about. It’s still a “marginal” call. Tuesday the 22nd looks similar, with energy around 390 but still that small 3 ft swell and poor wind.
For the standout, if I had to pick one moment to be on the beach, it would be the morning of Thursday the 17th. That early glass-off, with a small clean 3 ft swell from the ENE, is the best we’re going to get. It’s not a classic, it’s a “get a few soft ones and enjoy the sunrise” kind of session. For anyone not a beginner, there’s just nothing here that’s going to get the heart racing over the next 16 days.
Rusty.
