Hodilje is a tiny hamlet on the W side of the Neretvanski Kanal, the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]]. It lies just over a mile NW of the historic town of [[Mali Ston]] and opposite the equally tiny hamlet of Luka on the other side of the same bay. Barely a mile to the NE is the road bridge that carries the E80 from [[Dubrovnik]] to the border with Bosni-Herzegovina. Hodilje has a short pier which can be used by a yacht of modest draft and there is an anchorage half a mile NW in the small bay of Luka. Both hamlets have few if any facilities but are remarkably quiet and peaceful spots for an overnight stop. | Hodilje is a tiny hamlet on the W side of the Neretvanski Kanal, the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]].

Tie up alongside the inner side of the pier, where there are depths of around 3.0 metres. Shelter here is good in winds from most directions, though strong northerlies send in a swell. Alternatively, if the pier is occupied, proceed half a mile NW to the small bay of Luka, where a yacht can anchor off in depths of 3.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is excellent in mud. Shelter in the anchorage is good in all except strong E or SE winds, when [[Mali Ston]] provides better shelter. | Tie up alongside the inner side of the pier, where there are depths of around 3.0 metres.

 he tiny harbour of Hodilje - Click for larger view |
Hodilje is a tiny hamlet on the W side of the Neretvanski Kanal, the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of Croatia. It lies just over a mile NW of the historic town of Mali Ston and opposite the equally tiny hamlet of Luka on the other side of the same bay. Barely a mile to the NE is the road bridge that carries the E80 from Dubrovnik to the border with Bosni-Herzegovina. Hodilje has a short pier which can be used by a yacht of modest draft and there is an anchorage half a mile NW in the small bay of Luka. Both hamlets have few if any facilities but are remarkably quiet and peaceful spots for an overnight stop.
Local Weather
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.
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.
For sources of weather forecasting, see Croatia.

The approach to Hodilje is free of dangers, although there are numerous shellfish beds in the bay, most of them inshore. The short pier has a light structure on the end which helps identify it.
Berthing Options
Tie up alongside the inner side of the pier, where there are depths of around 3.0 metres. Shelter here is good in winds from most directions, though strong northerlies send in a swell. Alternatively, if the pier is occupied, proceed half a mile NW to the small bay of Luka, where a yacht can anchor off in depths of 3.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is excellent in mud. Shelter in the anchorage is good in all except strong E or SE winds, when Mali Ston provides better shelter.
