Best Surf Resorts

Mui Ne

The ideal place in Vietnam to go surfing is the resort, which is located in the south of the country in close proximity to big city Phan Thiet. The resort is famous as the surfing Vietnamese capital, as it has the most “correct” waves. And it is he who most of all attracts Russian tourists, so there are many Russian-speaking schools for teaching this sport. In Mui Ne Bay, "clean" surfing is possible, and there are also good conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing. This place attracts surfers by the fact that there is a stable wind direction almost constantly throughout the season (almost always at an angle of 45 degrees). Another advantage of Mui Ne Bay is the absence of any obstacles for surfing (stones, corals, reefs) throughout the space. This is especially convenient for those surfers who are just starting to do this. By the way, it is better for beginners to study here in the mornings, when there is no strong wind breaking the crest of a wave. But for experienced surfers, the waves that come during the Philippine typhoons will be the most suitable.

However, in winter, waves up to four meters can be observed at this surf spot. Another surf spot is called the Secret spot. This small beach lies under a headland and is characterized by regular waves. There are other spots like Africa and Surf4you.

Vung Tau

A place that is suitable for beginner surfers is a resort. This city is located in the south of the country. The beach here is more modest compared to Mui Ne.

First, a brief geographical and historical background about Mui Ne, where, in fact, clean surfing is possible in Vietnam. Mui Ne is a bay in the south of Vietnam, lying just a few kilometers north of Phan Thiet. In the east, the bay ends with a cape, on which the fishing village of Mui Ne stands, in fact, the name of the bay comes from here.

The almost uninhabited coastline in Vietnam has found a new active life about 15 years ago. Now on coastline about 15 km long there are numerous hotels, guest houses, stations, restaurants, life is in full swing day and night. Surfer and kiter!

Waves
The best and most correct waves for pure surfing (sometimes even tubes) in Vietnam come from September to April for East coast just in Mui Ne, and the water during these months is warm, like fresh milk, and the climate is mild. And when the waves of a cyclone from the Philippines hit the coast of Vietnam, Mui Ne becomes completely similar to the famous Hawaii! From April to September, in the summer, the waves move to another place - a good swell can come to the South and South-East coast.

The waves in Mui Ne are not as smooth and regular as in Indonesia and other famous surf countries, but nevertheless you can learn to surf on them! The ideal place for learning to surf for beginners is in the eastern part of the bay, where the waves are quite small, since the coast is covered by a cape. Surfing progress is great in the western part of Mui Ne, where there are almost always waves. Here, in the western part of the bay, there is a magnificent surf spot - a safe sandy, without stones and coral reefs, a beach with a shallow bottom and a low, “long” wave (and this, believe me, is the most important thing, because there is nothing better in surfing, how to ride along a very long wave!)!

Mui Ne surf spots
We monitor the forecast daily and choose the best surf spots for our students for the period of your training!

The first surf spot is Malibu (it is listed as such on the windguru website). On windfinder.com this spot is called Mac Beach. In summer, this spot, closed from big waves by a cape, is great for those who are just starting to learn to surf, or who like to catch fun on small light waves! In the morning, kiters ride here - because at this time there is an excellent flat, and in the afternoon, welcome, surfers - small and comfortable waves come to the spot. But in winter, waves of 4 meters can come here. Gotta keep an eye on the forecast!

The second surf spot is Secret spot, a small beach located right under the cape, thanks to which you can catch waves here even in strong winds. The waves here are regular and surfing takes place on a small beach break - a sandy beach.

Jeep transfer to Malibu and Secret spot surf spots costs $20. Spots Africa and Surf4you are located within the resort area of ​​Mui Ne - they can be reached on foot or by motorbike.

sun, air and water
Surfing in Vietnam in winter takes place at an air temperature of +30°C and water of +25°C. The sand strip on the beach is 1-2 meters wide at high tide, 10-20 meters wide at low tide. The wave height varies from 1 m to 3 meters during the day and from 0 to 0.5 in the morning.

Surf training
So in Mui Ne, we offer you to learn to surf without spending extra effort and enjoying the process. To catch your first wave in Mui Ne, you need to move away from the shore a little - you do not have to painfully overcome the surf. Well, our instructors on the shore will explain to you how to lie on a surfboard correctly, how to row and how to jump on a surfboard correctly, because it is from these seemingly small, but very important details that it depends on how quickly and successfully you can start catching your first waves!

We are waiting for you to learn to surf in Mui Ne all year round!

Generally speaking, in almost every Vietnamese resort you can catch a good wave, it’s another matter that in some resorts natural conditions more favorable for this. Find a surf school or rent equipment big problems won't make up. For those who don't own foreign languages, Russian surf schools are provided.

The most popular place for surfing is Mui Ne. Now it is a popular resort, with a well-developed infrastructure, although not so long ago it was a common fishing village. Mui Ne is called the surfing capital of Vietnam and those who come to Vietnam solely for the sake of boarding choose this resort in the first place. It is here that the largest number of Russian-speaking surf schools is concentrated. IN total more than two dozens work in Mui Ne various schools and centers that are designed for both professionals and beginners. Prices vary, but keep in mind that Russian-speaking schools have higher prices for tuition and equipment rental. Better time for skiing - from September to April, but by and large, the conditions for skiing are favorable all year round.

In the southern part of the country there is such a resort town as Vung Tau. The beach here is not as luxurious as in Mui Ne, but there are much fewer people here (those who do not like big crowds will like it). The waves here are constant, but not all surfers will like them, for beginners they may seem too aggressive. Here you can find both a specialized school and an individual trainer with whom you can work out on individual program. Not the most successful period for visiting Vung Tau can be called summer, since at this time there is no constant wind (it can be very strong or absent altogether). Most Better conditions from December to March, but due to strong winds in January, the coast may be closed for safety reasons. Since the city is located on a cape, it is subject to various natural disasters such as typhoons, so this option cannot be called ideal.

The next resort that is well suited for surfing is Da Nang. At one time, various competitions among surfers were even held here. If you decide to go to this resort, the main thing is to correctly determine the time of the trip: from November to January ideal conditions for experienced surfers, and the rest of the time is more suitable for beginners (the waves are small in summer). The best beach is My Khe Beach, which has six foot waves from time to time.

Well, you can’t ignore one of the most popular resorts in Vietnam - Nha Trang, although this is far from the most the best place for surfing. There are surfers on the city beach, but most often beach lovers come here. If you are in Nha Trang, be sure to visit Bai Dai Beach, which is located 30 kilometers from the city. In winter, there are many professional surfers, and in summer, beginners.

Prices for all services related to surfing differ from season to season. Classic surfboard rental is around $20 per day (depending on resort and season). For the services of an instructor, you will have to pay from 40 to 70 dollars per hour (a typical training course is five to six hours long).

There is a lot of debate among experienced surfers about which place in Vietnam is best and whether it is worth going there at all, but many agree that Mui Ne is the best place to go.
