Wind Patterns & Natural Shelter (Brač Island)
Brač enjoys clear wind zoning: the southern shore (Bol, Murvica) is shielded from Bora gales by Vidova Gora (778 m, the Adriatic's highest peak). In summer afternoons, thermal Maestral breeze powers world-class windsurfing at Zlatni Rat. When Jugo blows, the northern coast (Supetar, Sutivan, Postira) offers serene flat water.
During Bora winds, 10 south- and west-facing bays on Brač Island provide calm swimming waters.
During southern Jugo swells, 19 bays along northern shores remain protected with calm seas.
