In fact, August is the hottest month to visit Croatia which, arguably, makes it the best time of the year to visit the country for those looking to indulge in blissfully warm weather and sunshine. 

The sea temperature in Croatia in August is also favourable. Typically, this sits at around 24°C, but can sometimes reach highs of 27°C or 28°C. This is particularly comfortable for those looking to take a dip in the crystal clear, turquoise waters that lie beside the country’s Dalmatia coast.

Weather Conditions in Croatia in August

The weather in August in Croatia is characterised by plenty of gorgeous sunshine which drenches the country’s inland and coastal settings. Daylight extends across 14 hours a day during the month, and the majority of this is purely filled with sunshine and blue skies.

The Best Ways to Enjoy the Weather in Croatia in August

Explore Fortress Klis

Fortress Klis is a medieval stronghold situated near Split in the Dalmatia region of Croatia. With a history dating back more than 2,000 years, it is one of the most fascinating historic landmarks in the country. Klis Fortress’ history involves many ancient civilisations, including the likes of the Illyrians, Romans, and the Balkans, which adds to its rich and diverse heritage. 

Visitors can expect spectacular views overlooking Croatia’s landscape from the fortress walls, which stretch outwards to the coastline. Those who visit the fortress are free to roam its grounds at their leisure, walking where ancient civilisations once did and envisioning what life was like here in ancient times. 

August is one of the best times of the year to visit Klis Fortress when the weather is in its prime and the sight is, therefore, shown in its best light.

Visit One Of Croatia's Most Famous Beaches – Golden Horn Beach

Also known as Zlatni Rat, Golden Horn Beach is one of the country’s most famous sandy hotspots. It is also one of the most recognisable beaches in Europe, with its distinctive horseshoe shape having covered the pages of travel magazines around the globe for years.

With summer being an exceptional time to visit the beach, it would be wrong to not recommend taking a trip to this spectacular coastal destination during August as, at this time of year, visitors will be able to make the most of all that the beach has to offer. The beach is situated nearby Bol town on the island of Brac, which is one of the country’s most popular island destinations. 

Whilst many flocks to Zlatni Rat to swim in its bright blue waters and lounge on its pebbled shoreline, the beach is a fantastic windsurfing location for anyone looking to try their hand at, or who is already a fan of, windsurfing.

What To Wear For The Weather in Croatia in August

As the weather in Croatia in August is the country’s best of the best, preparing for hot conditions is a must. Packing light clothing that will keep you cool is essential, such as shorts, sleeveless tops, t-shirts, and skirts. We would also always recommend comfortable footwear when visiting Croatia, and summer is the perfect time of year to wear anything you may have which is open-toed. 

Equally, if you’re planning on indulging in the country’s coastlines, make sure you pack your swimming gear or any watersports equipment you may need, as the country’s waters are more than ideal at this time of the year.
