Difficulty and wind

from official sources and the base’s experience, checked 4 Nov 2026

Difficulty: moderate

Two longer days (Božava and the way back) need an early start. With a category B licence and basic experience, or with a skipper.

Wind and shelter

The inner coast of Dugi otok faces the mainland and is sheltered from the open sea. In a strong bora (NE), bays facing the mainland get rough; then stay in Sali or Telašćica.
