The Viganj beach is where Croatia learned to windsurf. Six or seven schools spread along the bay rent boards, rigs, kites, and wetsuits for everyone from first-time beginners to advanced freestyle riders; the larger operations (ANTE, Liberan, Waterdonkey) run multi-day courses and longer-term board storage. Equipment is recent and well maintained.
Wind builds through the morning and tops out between 2pm and 6pm in July and August. Mornings and evenings tend to be calm — perfect for SUP or beginner lessons. Most schools cluster in the campground area at the western end of the beach. Bring or rent water shoes; the beach is fine pebble with occasional rocky patches.
