Windsurfing in Istria

Windsurfing in Istria
Especially in the last few years Istria has always been an interesting windsurf destination in this part of Europe, but its popularity is growing even more. Due to its outstanding geographical position in the most southern part of the Istrian peninsula, Pula and its surroundings can offer the most optimal conditions for windsurfing such as – a constant presence of winds, the sea temperature between 15 and 24oC (in the period between April and December), 10 different windsurfing spots with the longest distance between any of them not bigger than 20 km, which enables you to choose the most acceptable location regarding the present weather conditions and wind directions (bura (a north/ north-east wind), jugo (a south/south-east wind, sirocco), maestral (a landward day breeze) or tramontana (a north-west wind)).
