Bol

Bol is a sheltered bay located on the Croatian coast, characterized by a sandy spit formation that creates two distinct water bodies. The spot faces south toward open water, with a prominent sandbar extending into the bay. The protected nature of the bay makes it suitable for beginners, though wind reliability is notably low at 5.6%, indicating inconsistent conditions. The average wind speed of 5.4 knots is marginal for kitesurfing and suggests this is not a premier destination during typical conditions. The bay configuration provides side-shore winds from easterly or westerly directions, depending on regional wind patterns. Water conditions are generally choppy with minimal wave action (0.30m average). Residential and tourist infrastructure on the surrounding coastline indicates moderate boat traffic. The spot works best during rare stronger wind events that align with easterly or westerly flows parallel to the coastline. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas near the shore and potential congestion from recreational boat activity. The spot is most suitable for practicing light-wind techniques rather than high-performance sessions.
