Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
The town of Nin's management plan designates a surf zone on Ždrijac 3, separated from the bathing zone by yellow buoys, and that is the only place where you may kitesurf from the beach. The beach faces north, so north is onshore and north-west and north-east come in side-on, while east and west blow cross-shore and south-east and south-west are side-off. In a southerly you are blown out into the open bay and Windulu gives a no-go. In Croatia you may only kitesurf in daylight and within 300 metres of the coast, and tide hardly plays a part. The live data comes from DHMZ in Zadar, 13 kilometres to the south, one value an hour without gusts, so Windulu shows the gust from the model. In summer 2026 at Zadar airport the models came out on average 3 knots below the measured wind whenever it blew 12 knots or more.
From the beach, kitesurf only in the Ždrijac 3 surf zone marked with yellow buoys (western part of the beach), not in the cordoned-off bathing zone; at sea only in daylight and within 300 m of the coast.

The open water at Nin (Ždrijac) faces N (358°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the east, southeast, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
