My Khe is a beach break in Da Nang, Vietnam, with peaks that run both left and right.
My Khe picks up swell from the NE round to the E, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the ENE. It starts working at around 0.5m and handles up to about 2m, with the sweet spot around 1.2 to 1.6m. Period matters too: aim for 10s or longer, as anything under 7s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.
A W wind is dead offshore at My Khe, and anything from the SW round to the NW keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 5am to 9am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
My Khe has a preferred tide range, roughly 0.4m to 1.8m on the local chart.
The most reliable run of swell at My Khe comes Oct to Mar. NE monsoon season. November-March best.
