About the spot

Kuje Bay at Ližnjan is especially known for powerful bora. The local tourist board confirms kitesurfing, with demanding waves in strong wind. Grassy rigging patches and small pebble entries help only partly, because rocks remain along the shore and in the water.

This venue suits confident riders experienced in gusts and waves. The bay’s shape does not make strong bora beginner-friendly. Inspect entry, return and reef clearance before launching, use assistance and stay ashore if the shorebreak exceeds your ability. Check actual local wind rather than expecting a generic summer breeze.
