Hazards

EXPOSED & MESSY Highly exposed to whatever the Adriatic throws at it — expect messy, disorganised conditions rather than clean lines.
SEVERE STORMS ONLY Only works during severe winter storm systems pushing S/SW energy up the Adriatic — otherwise flat.
ISOLATED No surf community, no lifeguards outside summer — bring all your own gear.
COLD Istrian winter water is cold — 4/3mm wetsuit and boots recommended.

Local knowledge

Peak season S/SW severe winter storms · genuinely rare
