Windsurfing in Viganj

As we have mentioned, Viganj is a well-known European wind surfing spot. Since it is situated in the middle of a narrow canal between Korcula and Peljesac and under the hill of St Elias, the wind tends to blow twice as fast as it usually does in the Adriatic. The usual speed of the afternoon Maestral is 5 and it reaches the speed of 8 Beauforts.
Sometimes the brave surfers can try windsurfing when Jugo starts to blow, just before the storm. It is very strong and it lasts for the whole day so surfers should definitely try this.
