Uvala Lopud

Shelter by wind direction

Good shelter in north-east (bora), east, south-east (jugo) and south wind.

Partial shelter in north and south-west wind.

In the most open sector, up to 1.4 NM of open water towards the north-west.

Swell can come in from west-north-west to west-north-west (284°–300°).
