About This Spot
Katoro Polynesia Beach is located on the Croatian Adriatic coast in a sheltered bay formation. The site features a westward-facing coastline with shallow turquoise waters, characteristic of Mediterranean coastal lagoons. The bay's enclosed geography creates limited wind acceleration and fetch distance. The shallow water (0.23m average waves) and sandbars visible in the satellite imagery indicate flat-water conditions typical of protected bays. Residential development along the shore and visible boat infrastructure suggest moderate human activity. The extremely low wind reliability (4.6%) and modest average wind speed (5.4 knots) indicate this is a marginal spot requiring specific weather windows. Best conditions arrive with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions. This location suits beginners and light-wind specialists seeking flat-water practice in a protected setting. Kiters should expect light winds requiring larger equipment and should monitor for residential boat traffic and shallow-water hazards.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water and sandbars visible in bay
Rocky outcrops along southern shoreline
Residential and commercial development with potential boat traffic
Limited fetch distance due to enclosed bay geography
