Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Ilovik

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 12°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 25°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Veli Lošinj, 7 km (about 15 min by car). Nearest airport: Pula Airport (PUY), 69 km.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
