Phan Thiet Jetties (Phan Thiet / Phu Long)

Phan Thiet Jetties is a city-side kitesurfing spot at the harbor/river-mouth area near Phan Thiết, with flat to choppy water and generally small waves. Conditions are reported as dirty/polluted, commonly linked to river outflow, so riders should expect reduced water quality compared with clearer nearby stretches of coast. Wind performance is primarily associated with East and Southeast directions, with a strong seasonal pattern. The spot is reported to work best in January, February, March, April, and also again in November and December, matching the core dry-season wind cycle for the wider Phan Thiết jetties area. One source describes winds typically in the low-to-mid 20s knots, with stronger gust potential; another describes a wider typical range and gusts that can reach the mid-40s knots. During the core months, wind is described as building in the late morning and staying steadier into the afternoon. Turbulence can occur very close behind/around the jetty structures and nearby buildings, so riders should pay attention to local wind shadows near the launch area. Safety is the main consideration here: the harbor jetties/moles and nearby boat traffic create a navigation hazard, and river-mouth currents are noted. Jellyfish and shore-break impacts are also mentioned in some hazard reports, especially with stronger winds and higher tides. Because no lifeguard service is reported and rescue availability is described as limited/no at this launch, riders should come prepared (impact protection and boots are specifically mentioned) and avoid riding into active harbor lanes.
