About This Spot
Tuy Hoa Beach is a shallow bay with mixed beach and lagoon characteristics on Vietnam's central coast. The coastline orientation toward the northeast creates a protected bay environment with visible harbor infrastructure and breakwaters. The spot features extensive sandy areas with shallow lagoons, particularly evident in the southern portions. Wind reliability is extremely poor at 3.0%, making consistent sessions unlikely. When wind does occur, northwesterly (310-330°) directions would provide optimal side-shore conditions parallel to the main coastline. Average wave heights of 1.04m indicate small, mushy conditions suitable only for beginners or light-wind practice. The primary challenge is the unpredictable wind regime - sessions may be rare. Shallow water depth throughout the bay reduces consequence but limits wave development. Boat traffic in the harbor area and multiple breakwaters present navigation hazards. This spot is most suitable for beginners seeking flat-water learning conditions when rare winds align favorably, but should not be relied upon for regular training due to extremely low wind consistency.
