But no one will be left without swimming and sunbathing. Days when the weather fails can be devoted to shopping, visiting numerous sights, as well as relaxing in various SPA centers.
Beach break
For the full enjoyment of water pleasures and the sunyou need to go to the southeastern and southern cities. Despite the occasional downpours, the sea, as before, remains warm. Off the coast of Mui Ne, Phan Thiet and Nha Trang, about 28 degrees are recorded. Periodically, the water surface is stormy. At these moments, flags flutter on the beaches, warning tourists about the unsafeness of the swims. In addition, the influence of ebbs and flows must be taken into account. They are generally implicit, although in some bays they can cause inconvenience.

Vietnam also promotes surfing and kite surfing in September. Waves that roll up masterfully into a tube and excellent wind statistics are like a balm for the soul of board sports fans. At the same time, attempts by beginners to cope with the elements of the sea will not be successful.

The water becomes cloudy, due to which its visibility is significantly reduced: it is not possible to see the coral reefs and their colorful inhabitants properly.
