Is the water clean at Nord Ovest Gora?
Nord Ovest Gora sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. You can park about ~190 m away.
Looking to avoid the busiest weeks? The water is typically warmest around August, with the most reliable swimming window running July–September; outside that stretch you'll find a cooler sea but a quieter beach. Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 9 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. On site you'll find Beach bar, Restaurant, and Kids' area. Follonica — the closest town — sits about ~800 m from here.
“Good” is one point on a four-step scale — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — assigned once per year from that season's water samples, not a live reading. It describes how the site performs on average across the season, not the exact water quality this afternoon; for day-to-day sea conditions, see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. There are 56 places to eat within a kilometre — Ristorante Cinese Oriente is the closest, about ~80 m away.

Which month has the warmest sea at Nord Ovest Gora?
July–September tends to be the sweet spot for swimming here, with sea temperatures usually peaking later in that stretch.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
The annual classification — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — is built from a full season of official testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring. Some national authorities (Croatia's IZOR among them) also publish individual samples during the season itself; Nord Ovest Gora isn't yet covered by that in-season feed.
