TL;DR
During Nha Trang’s rough-sea season, open beaches can be uncomfortable or unsafe for swimming. Look for sheltered coves such as Marina Beach and check the surf conditions before entering the water.
An October 11 report suggests the beaches near Do Theatre as an option for swimming during the rough-sea season: they have breakwaters, and the waves were reported to be small.
An October 11 report says the waves at Nha Trang’s northern beach are smaller than at the central beach. It is a comparatively calmer option, not a wave-free beach.
Consider the Marina beach club in northern Nha Trang: the water is shallow and reportedly has few rocks, making it an option for a calmer entry during rough-sea season.
At the central beach by the Lotus Tower, the sea is generally calmer in the morning, while waves are more likely later in the day. Check the actual conditions before swimming.
During the wave season, Nha Trang’s open coast is often rough. Swimming may still be possible, but conditions can feel quite extreme, so stay close to shore and only enter when the surf is manageable.
For calmer swimming, look for sheltered coves. Marina Beach is one suggested option and is a more sensible place to seek protection from strong surf than an exposed central beach.
In the off-season, wave conditions can change from day to day. If the water or surf looks unsafe, skip swimming at that stretch of beach and move to a more sheltered bay.
