Weather in Croatia - The Southern Adriatic Sea

The ideal sailing conditions with prevailing continental climate are from May to September. In the south a good sailing weather is also in April and October. However, you should be prepared for sudden strong winds like Bora, a stormy fall wind, which blows from the north or from the north-east direction. This wind mostly occurs, when a ridge of high pressure is building up over the Balkans, and can bring strong thunder fronts. Occasionally, the wind Jugo, also called Schirokko, blows from the south. This wind can be especially strong in the area around Split Zuljana. The prevailing wind, however, is Maestral of the north-west direction, which normally brings good weather. The average water temperature in August is about 27 degrees Celsius.
