1. The weather in Mui Ne

Windsurfing is a highly weather-dependent activity. So, knowing how the weather changes in Mui Ne is essential. The region has over 220 days with high wind speeds (approximately over 12 knots). However, the most appropriate windsurfing months in Mui Ne are between May and November. The winds are light and manageable and the water in the ocean is gentle. Especially if you are new to the windsurfing game, it is best to engage in the activity in such conditions. This will give you enough time and space to get used to the feeling of windsurfing. This is one of the best things to do in Mui Ne during the season.

Windsurfing is a popular sport in Mui Ne. This means that there is quite a collection of service providers in the area. A little-known fact is that Mui Ne has been chosen multiple times as a venue for international windsurfing championships. In addition, Mui Ne is also one of the main water sports centres in the whole of Vietnam. This can assure you that the windsurfing instructors that you find in Mui Ne are at the top of their game. They have many years of experience behind them, providing training in different parts of the world.

While you might be very excited to dive straight into actual windsurfing, this might not always be possible. If you’ve never done it before, there are some basic skills that you have to learn, before you are confident to engage in this sport alone. Short courses in windsurfing are the best way to get these skills most efficiently. These short courses last a few days or a maximum of a week. You will be learning alongside other people who are enthusiastic about the sport, so it will sure to be fun. You can ask the staff at Anantara Mui Ne Resort for the closest and the best windsurfing short course in the area. They are bound to know because most foreigners who come to the area, end up taking such a course.

Chances are that you won’t have any windsurfing equipment that you own yourself. However, this is not something to worry about since there are plenty of places in the area that offer these for rent. Your windsurfing school itself might offer this to you for the duration of the stay. If not, some places exclusively provide the renting equipment service. Once again, it is best to speak to a local about the best renting enterprise. You have to make sure that the equipment you get is in good condition and ready to be used safely by you.
