Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Mui Ne Kite Beach
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.2 km out (1 in 123). The sea is about 25°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at beginner level the best month is usually February, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Phan Thiết. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
