Dam Vua
Vietnam · Khánh Hòa Province
Dam Vua, in the Khánh Hòa province of Vietnam, is part of the emerging Phan Rang area favored by kitesurfers. This east-facing coastal spot offers direct access to a shallow lagoon ideal for training. Locals enjoy its relaxed atmosphere and proximity to wide sandy beaches.
Launching is done from a sandy beach, with clear and flat water in the lagoon, perfect for tricks and learning. Beyond the reef, medium-sized waves form with strong winds, adding challenge for experienced riders.
The spot is well-equipped with nearby kite schools, restaurants, and easy accommodation options, making sessions enjoyable even for extended stays.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The Dam Vua spot benefits from a side-shore or cross-onshore dominant wind from the NE during the high season from October to May, with average speeds of 20-30 knots, potentially rising to 40 knots. The lagoon offers a flat water area perfect for beginners and tricks, but it is tide-dependent: kiteable mainly at high tide to avoid overly shallow areas; at low tide, walk to deeper water.
Main navigation area in the shallow lagoon (ideal for learning), with easy launching from the wide sandy beach. Take off on clean sand, but watch for rocks at low tide. Outside the reef, small to medium waves (left and right), larger with strong winds. The wind is sideshore from the east due to the east coastal orientation, making sessions stable.
Local feature: strong and consistent winds due to the NE monsoon, but plan for smaller kites. Schools on-site for rentals and lessons.
