About This Spot
Bai Tam De Gi is a small coastal beach break located on Vietnam's central coast near agricultural and residential areas. The spot faces east toward the South China Sea, with a sandy beach backed by salt ponds and developed land. Water transitions from turquoise in shallow nearshore areas to deep blue offshore, indicating gradual depth increase suitable for beginners. The spot experiences consistent thermal winds characteristic of Vietnamese coastal areas, though with low overall wind reliability at 9.4%. Average conditions are very light with 1.05m waves and 6.9-knot average wind. Best side-shore wind direction is northerly (0°), which would align across the eastward-facing coast. This spot suits beginner kiters seeking light-wind conditions and small waves with minimal fetch distance. Key considerations include navigating shallow nearshore waters, avoiding infrastructure along the shore, and timing sessions for consistent wind days. The tight integration with local aquaculture and development means this is primarily a local spot rather than a major destination.
