Night 3 of our route. Komiža bay is open to the west and south-west, and these winds raise high waves in it (Third-party source, 27 Sep 2026). Berths inside the breakwater are sheltered (Third-party source, 27 Sep 2026). Its buoys lie close together, are open to westerlies, and take swell in any wind with south in it. A bura blows across them in shifting gusts but raises no waves.

Boats anchor south-west of Komiža harbour. It isn't safe in a bura, which comes in very strong gusts away from the shore, westerlies raise high waves in the bay, and a strong jugo makes it worse. Our cautious answer: anchor off Komiža only in settled weather, keep clear of the fallen rocks along the shore, and leave for Vis town if a bura, a jugo, a westerly or a southerly is forecast. Our skipper reviewer hasn't checked this yet. (Third-party source, 28 Sep 2026) In a public port's anchorage you pay the berth fee less 30% on a buoy, or less 50% at anchor. (Official source, 25 Sep 2026) No anchoring within 150 m of a natural beach, under the 2025 ordinance.

The island shelters it from the bura and the jugo, but a westerly or a summer storm from the west sends a swell straight in. - Westerly, summer storms from the west and southwest: Komiža bay is open to the west and south-west, and these winds raise high waves in it (Third-party source, 27 Sep 2026). Berths inside the breakwater are sheltered (Third-party source, 27 Sep 2026). Its buoys lie close together, are open to westerlies, and take swell in any wind with south in it. A bura blows across them in shifting gusts but raises no waves. (Third-party source, 28 Sep 2026) Our cautious answer: if a westerly, south-westerly or thunderstorm is forecast, lie inside the breakwater or go round to Vis town. Our skipper reviewer hasn't checked this yet. - Maestral from the northwest: Some swell on the outer buoys. The afternoon breeze blows along the coast, so Pol Guspu rolls a little and the quay stays calm. - Bura and jugo from the northeast and southeast: Sheltered. Both blow over the island, so expect gusts down the hills rather than swell. What our sources say, not a forecast.
