August is one of the best months to visit Nha Trang: the dry season runs roughly from January through August-September, while the rainy season starts around October-December.
In August, air temperature stays around 82-91°F, the sea water is warm and waves are calm — strong storms and rough seas are typical for autumn and winter, not summer.
Choosing a beach or area in August isn't critical for weather reasons — all the main beaches (Central Beach, Bai Dai, Bai Tram) are equally good for a vacation in this period; the difference is more about infrastructure and distance from downtown.
