10-day surf forecast with Strike Scores for Bol, Bol, Brač Island, Croatia
Bol is home to Croatia's famous Zlatni Rat beach—a stunning golden horn of pebbles that shifts shape with currents and storms. While the beach is world-famous, the surf is nearly non-existent, working maybe a handful of times per winter when Bora wind storms generate short-period Adriatic chop. Croatian surfers treat any rideable wave here as a miracle worth celebrating. This is Adriatic reality: stunning beauty, crystal water, ancient Roman history, and almost no surf.
