Have i just totally stuffed up my kite holiday? lol.
I'm going top Mui ne (vietnam) on the 1st-15th October for kite surfing, but looking at stats recently it seems i may as well not even take my kite gear. Is it very predictable or will u get random windy days like in Vic?

I'll find something else to do there i guess....or maybe i should just pay the transfer ticket fee and rebook for 1st November, any thoughts?

Bring a water filter. It's filthy. Dirty grey shut worse than what comes out the back of your washing machine. Enjoy.
Rebook
Come for an SUP or a surf with me,
In October there is often typhoon swell as well.
and if there is no wind the water should be clear,
Mui Ne's water gets brown because the South China Sea in the Mui Ne area is quite shallow and is stirred up by the STRONG wind.
Hey Salt,
Mui Ne is a great place and kiting is bonus, there's heaps to do, and going in October is still good. Every year weve gone we've had wind (lucky maybe), even Oct. Mind you, weve had the best time in mid Nov to Dec when the trades come in. Plus there is less people then and more of a buyers market.
Good luck,
cheers,

Hi guys thanks for your thoughts.
I made an executive decision to change the dates (only another $150 anyway) to 15th -30th Oct based on the attached 2009 Mui Ne / Phan Thiet wind statistics archive.
Hope this is useful to future travelers.
I have a feeling those archives are only of the prediction for the days, not the actual readings from the days, so could be a little inaccurate as we get plenty of good predictions but as we know they can turn to sh!t
But I could be wrong 
Anyone know where i can get months of archive data like the previous post, based on real readings?
If Indonesia is any guide to what is happening in SE Asia, you won't have much luck. La Nina is in full swing. Water temps are 4-5 C higher than normal, wind is rubbish and we didn't get a dry season.
Good luck!
