Khe Ga (Kê Gà)

Khe Ga (Kê Gà) is a big, sandy beach kite spot on Vietnam’s coast known for clean water and a very spacious launch area, including reports of access via the abandoned airfield. It’s described as producing small-to-medium waves that can become stronger later in the day, with a mix of flat-to-choppy morning conditions and more demanding shorebreak as wind and swell build. Wind is driven by Northeast Monsoon trade winds, typically side-onshore/cross-onshore with consistent performance in the dry season. Published best months include November through March (with January/February/December also highlighted), and multiple sources note that conditions become significantly less reliable in the wet season. Some reports describe gusty peaks (up to around 45 knots), while wind timing often favors late morning into afternoon sessions; regional thermal effects can further accelerate the wind during the afternoon. For kitesurfing, the spot is commonly characterized as intermediate to expert suitable due to wave/shorebreak and the potential for strong currents. For surfing, sources describe both beach-break and point-style conditions near the cape, with peeling waves that are typically best during winter swells; the shoreline is exposed, and NE wind can make conditions choppy unless you catch the window when wind is cleaner or less onshore. Safety planning is important: rocks near the lighthouse/cape are reported hazards, and strong currents are noted near the lighthouse area during higher swell. Rescue is not a dedicated public beach service, so riders are advised to be self-sufficient, keep clear of rocky areas, and ideally go with a buddy. Access involves a bumpy road from the Phan Thiết area and the final approach may include driving on the old airfield.
