About Da Nang
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (319°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (139°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 5.9 km out (1 in 588). 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). The town to stay in is Đà Nẵng, 0.4 km away (1 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.
