About Bai Dai Beach, Nha Trang
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (114°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (294°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 400 m out (1 in 42). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 25°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Nha Trang.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
