Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Mali rat lies between Zlatni rat and the village of Bol, and because the beaches here are cordoned off with buoys, you go out on the water through the corridor of the kite school that holds a municipal permit. According to the tourist board, the maestral blows at 15 to 25 knots through the channel between Brač and Hvar, along the coast. The beach faces south, so south is onshore and south-east and south-west come in side-on, while east and west blow cross-shore and north-east and north-west are side-off. In a northerly you are blown out into the channel and Windulu gives a no-go. Kitesurfing is only allowed in daylight and within 300 metres of the coast, and tide hardly plays a part. There is no live data, and in summer 2026 the models at Croatian airports often came out below the measured wind when it blew 12 knots or more.
The beaches of Bol are cordoned off with buoys; to and from the beach only through the kite school's corridor on Mali rat. Zlatni rat is cordoned off all round from 1 July to 31 August inclusive. At sea only in daylight and within 300 m of the coast. Source: Općina Bol, Plan upravljanja pomorskim dobrom 2024-2028 čl. 7; Pravilnik NN 52/2025 čl. 49.
The open water at Bol (Mali rat) faces S (170°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southeast, south and southwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, west and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the north, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
