Sailing season in Croatia

The best time for sailing in Croatia is during the summer months, from May to September. This period sees stable weather, warm temperatures, and is the peak tourist season.

However, early autumn—particularly September—can also be a good time, as the sea remains warm and there are fewer crowds.

The winter months are usually quiet, with many coastal towns and facilities going into hibernation until the following spring.

Bura (Bora)

Jugo

Another well-known wind is the “Jugo”, a warm, moist southeasterly wind that can last for days, often bringing cloudy, rainy weather.

Maestral

Then there’s the “Maestral”, a daily thermic wind blowing from the northwest, which is ideal for sailors as it’s milder and predictable.
