Mui Ne Kitesurf Spot in Bhin Thuan
Asia Kiteboard Spot in Vietnam
Mui Ne has come a long way since the 1990s and is now one of Southeast Asia's most popular kiteboarding destinations. Previously a fishing village it’s now a popular spot for tourists and kitesurfers and can get crazy busy during the season. With two seasons this spot offers a lot of days of kitesurfing through the year, and can be fun for a party scene alongside your days on the water.
Mui Ne Kitesurfing wind conditions
The South West Summer Season and the North East Monsoon Season are the two main kitesurfing seasons in Mui Ne. During the summer season, running from May till October, the wind mainly blows from the South. It blows every day, but not as fiercely as in the winter. In the summer, the wind speeds range from 10 to 14 knots. It usually begins with a gentle breeze in the mornings, gradually picking up strength as the day passes, and becomes much stronger later in the day. Later in the afternoon, there is a decent and steady breeze, but it lasts only 3-4 hours. This season is more suited to beginners as the wind is a little less fierce. From January through March, the wind gets to its peak when it blows on average at 20-25 knots, with gusts as high as 40 knots. This suits advanced riders better as the shore break can be intimidating for beginners.

How to get to Mui Ne and how to bring it about while you're there
The international airport in Ho Chi Minh City is around 4 hours drive, and there are numerous cost-effective transportation options to get to the kite spot. The train or a bus is going to be the cheapest option but you’ll still need to change to a bus or taxi once you reach Phan Tiet. Taxis in Vietnam are relatively cheap and if you’re booking through your accommodation you can generally get a good price. Renting a car or a bike is an option but the roads can be crazy so be careful if you are planning to drive.
