Camp Kazela (Medulin)

Camp Kazela (Medulin), Croatia is a coastal spot near the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, just outside the town of Medulin. It’s set in a large camping resort area with a long shoreline facing the Adriatic, making it a convenient launch point for windsurfing and kitesurfing when conditions are right.

Spot character

• Type: Mostly a shallow, sheltered seaside bay / open coastline style spot
• Best for: Beginners to intermediate riders in suitable wind conditions
• Wind: Commonly works with the bora and sirocco/southerly winds, depending on direction and strength
• Water: Generally flat to choppy, with relatively protected water near shore
• Bottom: Mostly sand and small pebbles, with some rocky sections in places
• Access: Easy beach access from the campsite area

What it’s like to surf there

Camp Kazela is not usually known as a heavy-wave surf destination. Instead, it’s more of a windsport spot where wind conditions can produce fun, rideable chop and flatter water near the coast. If you’re looking for traditional ocean-style surfing waves, this is not the place; if you’re after windsurfing, kitesurfing, or SUP in a scenic Adriatic setting, it can be a solid option.

Conditions and notes

• Can be wind-dependent
• Summer can be busy due to camping traffic
• Some areas may have swimmers, boats, and campers nearby, so awareness is important
• Check local wind forecasts and any access rules from the campsite
