Premantura

Premantura, Istria, Croatia
🪨Rocks🦔Urchins

Premantura is Croatia's most exposed surf location—a rocky peninsula at Istria's southern tip that catches slightly more swell than the rest of the Adriatic coast. When winter storms generate southwest fetch, this reef can produce short but quality waves over sharp rock. The dramatic Kamenjak Nature Park setting and Roman ruins add atmosphere to the pursuit of Croatia's rarest commodity: rideable surf. For committed Adriatic surfers, Premantura represents peak possibility.
