The town of Biograd (or, to give it its full name Biograd na Moru) lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], approximately 15 miles SE of [[Zadar]] and opposite the southern end of the island of [[Pasman]].  The town’s main claim to fame is as the former capital of the mediaeval Kingdom of the Croats, which lasted from 925 to 1102.  Today the town is a popular holiday resort and ferry port and a good base for cruising the Kornati Islands 12 miles SW.  The town has two large marinas, [[Marina Kornati]] and [[Marina Sangulin]], which between them offer a total of over 1,000 berths.

==Local Weather==

==Charts==
-
Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic 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 Velebitski channel.  It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.  
+
''See [[Northern Dalmatia#Charts|Northern Dalmatia]]''.
-
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.

Biograd is approached either from NW along the channel separating the mainland from the islands of Ugljan and Pasman or from S around the southern end of the island of Pasman. There are no dangers in the approach from NW other than the numerous islands in the Pasmanski Kanal.  In the approach from S, note that the island of Sv. Katerina has shoals extending half a mile off its eastern coast.  Also a green marker buoy indicates a shoal patch 200 metres SW of the entrance to the marinas.  The buildings of the town and the masts in the marinas are conspicuous from some distance off.  Both marinas are situated in the large harbour on the N side of the peninsula on which the town sits, which is entered from WNW between two long breakwaters.

There are two principal options for a visiting yacht, the [[Marina Kornati]] and [[Marina Sangulin]].  The Marina Kornati occupies the outer part and the Marina Sangulin the inner part of the harbour.  There is also a small marina outside the harbour around half a mile to the SE, but this is owned by the Hotel Kornat and is exclusively for guests at the hotel.

Biograd harbour from NW

The town of Biograd (or, to give it its full name Biograd na Moru) lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, approximately 15 miles SE of Zadar and opposite the southern end of the island of Pašman. The town’s main claim to fame is as the former capital of the mediaeval Kingdom of the Croats, which lasted from 925 to 1102. The town has two large marinas, Marina Kornati and Marina Sangulin, which between them offer a total of over 1,000 berths.

Navigation

Biograd is approached either from NW along the channel separating the mainland from the islands of Ugljan and Pašman or from the S around the southern end of the island of Pašman. There are no dangers in the approach from NW other than the numerous islands in the Pasmanski Kanal.

Danger: In the approach from the S, note that the island of Sv. Katerina/wiki/Biograd_na_Moru#Sv._KaterinaDanger icon Sv. Katerina [[Biograd na Moru#Sv. Katerina|Sv. Katerina]] 43°55.970'N, 015°25.837'E has shoals extending half a mile off its eastern coast. Also, a green marker buoy indicates a shoal patch 200 metres SW of the entrance to the marinas.

Note: Take care of ferries shuttling between Biograd and the island of Pašman.

Both marinas are situated in the large harbour on the N side of the peninsula on which the town sits, which is entered from WNW between two long breakwaters.
