Hoi An Beach

Hoi An Beach is a sandy beach break facing northeast into the South China Sea near Vietnam's central coast. The spot features a relatively gentle slope with moderate water depth progression offshore. The beach is backed by dense residential and commercial development with limited natural buffer. The primary limitation is extremely inconsistent wind—only 0.6% reliability with an average of just 4.9 knots—making this spot viable only during specific seasonal windows. Wave heights average under 1 meter, suitable for beginners but insufficient for skill development. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds creating side-shore conditions. This spot is most practical for complete beginners seeking flat-water practice or during rare strong wind events. Kiters should monitor seasonal wind patterns carefully and consider traveling to more consistent venues if serious progression is intended. Local knowledge of tidal variations and boat traffic patterns is essential for safe sessions.
