| summary= The village and harbour of '''Banj''' is situated on the NE coast of the island of [[Pašman]] in [[Croatia]], two miles SE of the [[Ugljan#Mali Ždrelac|Prolaz Mali Ždrelac]], the narrow channel between the island and its close neighbour, [[Ugljan]] Island. The harbour here is very shallow, with depths of little more than 3.0 metres in the approach, and is therefore only suitable for shallow draft yachts or motor boats.

-
Diurnal winds among the islands are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5, although gusting is common in narrow channels between islands and on the lee side of headlands.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains affect some of the islands close to the mainland coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the coast from Rijeka down to Zadar, although its effects can be felt as far south as Split.

''See [[Croatia#Weather|Croatia]]''.
-
Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean.  Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Banj, the chief problem being the shallow depths in the approach, which are little more than 3.0 metres. Banj should therefore not be approached with any swell running and certainly not by any yacht drawing over 1.5 metres. Depths inside are equally shallow, being just 2.0 metres at most. Shelter in the harbour is adequate in winds from W and S but poor in N and E winds.

Banj harbour from NE

The village and harbour of Banj is situated on the NE coast of the island of Pašman in Croatia, two miles SE of the Prolaz Mali Ždrelac, the narrow channel between the island and its close neighbour, Ugljan Island. The harbour here is very shallow, with depths of little more than 3.0 metres in the approach, and is therefore only suitable for shallow draft yachts or motor boats.

Navigation

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Banj, the chief problem being the shallow depths in the approach, which are little more than 3.0 metres. Banj should therefore not be approached with any swell running and certainly not by any yacht drawing over 1.5 metres. Depths inside are equally shallow, being just 2.0 metres at most. Shelter in the harbour is adequate in winds from W and S but poor in N and E winds.

Entrance

Zadar is the nearest all-year round port of entry, or Šibenik if arriving from S. During the summer, Sali on Dugi Otok and Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.

Berthing

If your draft allows you to approach Banj, the only realistic mooring option is alongside on the quay of the E breakwater, as close to the end as possible. Depths alongside here are just 2.0 metres. Further in the quay is occupied by small boat moorings and in any case shoals to 1.0 - 1.5 metres.
