| summary= The harbor of '''Brbinj''' lies on the NE coast of the island of [[Dugi Otok]] ten miles off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] and facing the island of [[Ugljan]]. Its attractive setting, at the head of a deep bay surrounded by wooded slopes, attracts a modest tourist industry during the summer and it also offers good facilities for visiting yachts on its quay and associated mooring buoys.

The harbour of Brbinj lies on the NE coast of the island of [[Dugi Otok]] ten miles off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] and facing the island of [[Ugljan]]. Its attractive setting, at the head of a deep bay surrounded by wooded slopes, attracts a modest tourist industry during the summer and it also offers good facilities for visiting yachts on its quay and associated mooring buoys. The harbour and bay offer good shelter in all but E and SE winds.  Just half a mile N across the isthmus on which the village sits is another harbour with further mooring buoys, [[U. Lucina]], which is also where the Brbinj-Zadar ferry berths.

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.

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.

The bay of Brbinj from S

The harbor of Brbinj lies on the NE coast of the island of Dugi Otok ten miles off the mainland coast of Croatia and facing the island of Ugljan. Its attractive setting, at the head of a deep bay surrounded by wooded slopes, attracts a modest tourist industry during the summer and it also offers good facilities for visiting yachts on its quay and associated mooring buoys. The harbour and bay offer good shelter in all but E and SE winds.

Just half a mile N across the isthmus on which the village sits is another harbour with further mooring buoys, U. Lucina, which is also where the Brbinj-Zadar ferry berths.
