Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
For the beach at the mouth of the Neretva, the Ploče management plan allows kite rental and a kite school. According to the county's spatial plan from 2020 you may only kitesurf here after 31 May, so the spot is closed up to and including 31 May. The beach faces west-south-west, so south-west to west is onshore and north-west comes in side-on, while north and south blow cross-shore and north-east and south-east are side-off. In an easterly the wind blows off the land and Windulu gives a no-go, and if you drift to the north-west you end up in the Ušće Neretve bird reserve. Kitesurfing is only allowed in daylight and within 300 metres of the coast, and tide hardly plays a part. The live data comes from the DHMZ station in Ploče, 4 kilometres to the north, one value an hour without gusts, so Windulu shows the gust from the model.
Kitesurfing only from 1 June. The water north-west of the beach belongs to the Ušće Neretve bird reserve (Galičak); keep out of it. At sea only in daylight and within 300 m of the coast.

The open water at Ušće Neretve (Ploče) faces WSW (255°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
