Geographical position

The geographical position of Struga, the openness of the Struga valley, the mountains around the city, as well as the proximity of the lake, enable the wind to blow from all sides in Struga. The winds are divided into permanent and local. To the permanent winds, belong the winds from the south and from the north. Winds from the north usually come along the valley of the Crn Drim River and carry freshness throughout the year, but most often in winter. The southern wind blows usually in March and April, and less often in May. The southern wind is suitable for hunting of eel, bleaks, and rutilus rubilio ochridanus. Local winds are a product of unequal warming of the mainland and lake water. The characteristic wind for the Ohrid Lake is the wind Strmec. It comes from the surrounding mountains and is therefore cold, blowing all night to sunrise with a silent wind and full wave.
