About the Bora
Guest guide · insights from the Meteoalarm feed
What the bora means for you as a guest
up to 20 km/hEverything is normal — beaches, excursions, boat trips, kayaking, diving.
20–50 km/hVela plaža beach gets waves; you can still swim at Macel, Bunculuka and Jablanova beaches (sheltered). Boat excursions are cancelled.
50+ km/hThe Baška–Lopar–Rab catamaran is often suspended. Recommendation: hike inland, try a diving course in sheltered coves, or enjoy the local restaurants.
Why here?
Baška lies at the southeastern tip of the island of Krk, in a valley sheltered by Veliki Hlam (461 m) to the north. The bora that descends from the Velebit mountains crosses the channel and strengthens along the coast — Baška averages 60–80 bora days a year, peaking in November and March.
In summer (June–September) the bora is rarer and usually lasts 1–3 days, typically arriving after a warm spell. The DHMZ Meteoalarm feed forecast is reliable 24–48 hours ahead, while the exact strength and timing of the wind are hard to predict more than 12 hours in advance.

How reliable is the data?
Forecasts come directly from DHMZ and the Open-Meteo API. Bora frequency is calculated from the CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) feed of Meteoalarm — the official EU system for severe weather warnings.
We also use Pljusak.com for measured conditions in Baška (Frankopanska), the DHMZ Senj station as the reference windy station, and DHMZ sea measurements in Malinska and Rab for water temperature. The 12-month Chronicle uses ERA5 reanalysis.
