| summary= The tiny harbour of [[Kozarica]] is located on the NE coast of the island of [[Mljet]] in [[Croatia]], three miles ESE of the harbour of [[Polace]]. It is not a good place to be in unsettled weather and is completely open from NW round to E. However, it is a quiet and largely unfrequented spot along the NE coast of the island and yachts are a relatively rare sight here. A visiting yacht can lie alongside the end of the short breakwater or use the anchor to squeeze in stern or bows-to among the small craft moorings.

==Local Weather==

==Charts==
-
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 [[Southern Dalmatia#Charts|Southern 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.

The only option is the harbour breakwater. Either tie up alongside the end, where depths are 6.0 metres, or use your anchor to go stern or bows-to among the small craft moorings along the inner side of the breakwater if there is space. Holding is good in sand and weed. Depths range from 2.0 metres at the root to 6.0 metres at the end. There are no facilities on the quay.

It is not a good place to be in unsettled weather and is completely open from NW round to E. However, it is a quiet and largely unfrequented spot along the NE coast of the island and yachts are a relatively rare sight here. A visiting yacht can lie alongside the end of the short breakwater or use the anchor to squeeze in stern or bows-to among the small craft moorings.
