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 harbour of Grscica from SW

The small harbour of Grscica lies on the S coast of the island of Korčula in Croatia, six miles E of the SW tip of the island and a mile W of the harbour of Prižba. The inlet in which it sits is partially protected from SW by the sickle-shaped islet of Kosor/wiki/Gr%C5%A1%C4%87ica#KosorIsland icon Kosor [[Gršćica#Kosor|Kosor]] 42°54.066'N, 016°45.724'E half a mile offshore.

There is not a lot of space in Grscica, which is popular with leisure fishermen. In settled weather, however, it is a peaceful and unfrequented port of call when sailing along the S coast of Korcula Island.

Navigation

There are islets and shoal patches just off the coast both to the E and W of Grscica and careful attention to the chart is needed on the approach.

Danger: Note that there are shoal patches on both sides of the of O. Kotor, the sickle-shaped island SW of Grscica bay (Nshoal/wiki/Gr%C5%A1%C4%87ica#NshoalDanger icon Nshoal [[Gršćica#Nshoal|Nshoal]] 42°54.232'N, 016°45.733'E and SE shoal/wiki/Gr%C5%A1%C4%87ica#SE_shoalDanger icon SE shoal [[Gršćica#SE shoal|SE shoal]] 42°53.960'N, 016°46.080'E ).
