The island of Hvar, is renowned for its vibrant nightlife and fragrant lavender fields, while the island of Mljet is a haven of tranquility with its dense pine forests and serene lakes.

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.

Winds of the Adriatic

Bura (Bora)

The most common wind on the Adriatic coast is the “Bura”, a dry and cold northeasterly wind. It’s known for its sudden appearance and can reach strong gales, especially in the Velebit Channel.

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.
