About
Tan Hai Beach (La Gi) is a low-profile, wide sandy launch with clean coastal water and flat-to-medium wave conditions. The beach provides ample room to set up and launch, which makes it a practical option for riders looking for comfortable beach logistics. For kitesurfing, the most consistent wind comes from NE through ESE during the winter monsoon season. Typical conditions are strongest across December through April, with high seasonal reliability noted for this period and a light-gust character reported. The main on-water consideration is coastal activity and shore conditions: there can be fishing nets and boats near the shore, and the shore break is reported as moderate. Local guidance emphasizes checking for nets (including where they may be marked) and avoiding kiting too close to anchored boats. Amenities at the beach include showers and toilets, plus nearby food and lodging options. Wind and water conditions should be checked before launch, and riders are advised to keep a safe distance from others while launching and riding.
