Non Nuoc
Also known as: -
A quieter, gentler sandbar cousin to My Khe below the Marble Mountains - clean but marginal; a fair-weather winter option.
Best time to surf
NE monsoon winter; cleanest Nov-Mar (statistical peak October); quieter and smaller than My Khe
Shoulder season: Marginal - even peak October is blown out over half the time; Sep-Oct/Mar only on the right day
The wave
Break type: Beach break
Bottom: Sand (sandbar beach break)
Wave direction: Lefts and rights off the sandbar
Typical wave length: Short - 20-40m; sandbar-dependent
Ideal swell: NE wind swell (South China Sea); handles small swell from ~1ft up
Ideal wind: Offshore from the WSW
Working tide: Mid-tide favoured for beach-break shape
Difficulty & skill
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Skill level: Beginner to intermediate; a gentle slope, family-friendly
Options for a mixed group: Limited - a single mellow zone; suits keeping a group together rather than splitting by ability
Safety & hazards
Dangerous rip currents, wind-chop, possible jellyfish, typhoon-season power (Sep-Nov)
Da Nang hospitals - Hospital C, Da Nang General, Vinmec; seasonal beach lifeguards on the main My Khe stretch; emergency 115
Crowd, access & conditions
Crowd & localism: A tiny, quieter scene than My Khe; busy in the water only when genuinely up; no real localism
Access & parking: Easy - ~7km from the airport; resorts (Naman, Sheraton, Hyatt) line the beach; access via resort roads/public points, parking near the Marble Mountains
Surf schools & rental: No dedicated Non Nuoc school; served by Da Nang operators (Da Nang Surf Shop, Coco Surf, LST Surf, Da Nang Outdoor Adventures) who guide sessions here
Water temp & wetsuit: Summer ~30 C (boardshorts); winter surf season cooler ~22-25 C - springsuit or 2mm on cold mornings
Crowds, access and local conditions change - confirm locally before you paddle out.
