Cua Dai Beach.
Surf spot guide · South Central Coast, Vietnam
Cua Dai Beach is a sandy beachbreak near Hoi An (Quang Nam Province) that can produce lefts and rights, with surf most likely during the Oct–Apr season and generally light crowds in the water.
Cua Dai Beach is an east-facing sandy coastline located about 5 km from Hoi An Ancient Town in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam. The surf setup is a sand beachbreak influenced by nearby river-mouth/delta processes, with shifting sandbars that can create peaky lefts and rights when banks are good, and more closed-out sections when the bar straightens. Surf-forecast listings for “Cue Dai Beach” show the spot receiving swells primarily from the NE to ENE quadrant, and forecast examples include larger events in the 7–8 ft range with mid periods around 8–11 seconds. Surfline also lists the spot as “Cua Dai Beach” with forecast products tied to a pinned location near the beach. Seasonality is mixed by use-case: tourism sources describe the Feb–Aug dry season as best for calm beach weather, while surf-forecast guidance and regional monsoon patterns indicate the more reliable wave season for surfing is typically Oct–Apr (NE monsoon and episodic storm/typhoon swell). The area has documented coastal erosion history (noted since 2004) with reports of restoration improving beach condition by 2023, though erosion impacts may still be visible in some sections.
