Viganj

Viganj is a sheltered bay located on the Pelješac Peninsula in southern Croatia, facing south toward the Adriatic Sea. The spot features a curved sandy beach with moderate development and forested hinterland. Protected by the peninsula's geography, the bay experiences relatively calm conditions with limited wave exposure and modest swell. The wide, shallow sandy bottom near shore provides gentle entry conditions suitable for beginners. Wind reliability is notably low at 7.6%, with average wind speeds around 5.7 knots, indicating this is primarily a fair-weather destination requiring patient wind windows. Side-shore wind from the east provides the safest orientation for launching and recovery. The calm waters and gradual beach slope make this location accessible for learning, though the limited wind consistency and weak swell (0.37m average) mean sessions will be brief and infrequent. Best suited for beginners during thermal wind periods. Kiters should be aware of boat traffic in deeper waters and monitor weather carefully, as the low wind reliability suggests many non-rideable days.
