Two checked sources disagree, so here are both, and our cautious answer. Sources disagree on shelter in Vis town harbour Our answer: Treat the main quay as open to winds from the north and northeast (Sources disagree, 26 Sep 2026). Treat Kut as open to the northwest and to summer squalls from the west (Sources disagree, 26 Sep 2026) Deep in St George's bay and sheltered by the islet of Host and the Prirovo peninsula, "no wind" troubles a sailor here: [Split-Dalmatia County Port Authority: the port of Vis](https://www.lusdz.hr/o-nama/popis-luka-pod-nadleznoscu-lusdz/luka/1241) (Official source, 26 Sep 2026) Only winds from the north and northeast bother the main quay, whose east end is less sheltered. Kut is more open to the northwest, and a squall from the west needs care: [Gradina Vis d.o.o.: its port services (mooring and unmooring) in the port of Vis](https://gradinavis.hr/djelatnosti/nautika-usluge-priveza-i-odveza-brodova/) (From the operator, 26 Sep 2026) - Maestral and squalls from the northwest and west: Treat Kut as open.
