Bezdan (Cape Bezdan / Rt Bezdan)

Bezdan sits on the fully exposed southern cape of Kolocep, open to the Adriatic across the whole southern arc. The dominant threat is the Jugo (Scirocco) from the SE, which has the longest fetch along the sea's NW-SE axis and drives the biggest waves and surge directly onto this point - the SE-S-SW sectors are wide open and set the site's rough-day limit. The bulk of Kolocep to the north and northwest shelters it from the Bura (NE) and the afternoon Maestral (NW), which arrive as offshore or blocked winds, and the Dubrovnik mainland a few kilometres to the east limits fetch from that side. In practice the dive is calm in settled summer weather but is among the first Kolocep sites to close out when a southerly is running.
