About My Khe Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (100°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (280°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–12 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 700 m out (1 in 69). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 23°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 30°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January and February, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Đà Nẵng, 1.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
