About This Spot
Hon Rom Beach is located on Vietnam's south-central coast, facing southeast toward the South China Sea. The spot features a long sandy beach with moderate wave exposure and protected characteristics typical of the region's gulf geography. The beach break offers relatively consistent conditions with small to medium waves suitable for progression. Low wind reliability (22.3%) and modest average winds (8.8 knots) indicate this spot requires patient timing and optimal seasonal windows. The area is developed with residential construction and boat infrastructure visible in the satellite imagery, indicating moderate human activity. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds providing side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. The shallow water conditions and rough-chop water type suggest variable swell management and potential for choppy conditions. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking protected, smaller-wave conditions. Key considerations include watching for boat traffic in nearshore areas, respecting the residential zone immediately behind the beach, and timing visits during peak wind season months. Water temperature of 27.5°C permits minimal wetsuit requirements.
