About This Spot
Bac Binh is a coastal beach break located on Vietnam's southeastern coast, facing the South China Sea toward the southeast. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach backed by sparse vegetation and scattered rocky formations. Water conditions are typically choppy with minimal wave development due to limited fetch and the sheltered nature of the coastline. The shallow nearshore zone and visible sandbars indicate variable bottom topography that affects water movement. Best wind conditions occur with northeast to east-northeast winds (45°) that provide side-shore flow parallel to the beach. The low wind reliability (15.3%) and modest average wave height (0.71m) make this primarily a beginner-friendly spot, suitable for practicing basic kitesurfing skills. Kiters should be aware of shallow water requiring careful board control, rocky obstacles near shore, and the potential for choppy conditions. This location suits learners seeking a protected environment with manageable wave and wind conditions, though consistent strong winds are not guaranteed.
