The small island of Lavsa lies off the SW coast of the island of [[Kornat]] in the [[Kornati Islands]] group of [[Croatia]]. It is separated from Kornat by the mile-wide channel of the Kornatski Kanal. Immediately NW is the island of [[Piskera]] with its 118 berth marina of [[Marina Piskera]]. The island offers just one anchorage, offering excellent shelter in virtually all conditions except very strong NE winds. The anchorage also has mooring buoys and two restaurants open during the season. As part of the Kornati National Park, a daily permit is required to visit the island.

==Weather==
-
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 [[Croatia#Weather|Croatia]]''.
-
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 small island of Lavsa lies off the SW coast of the island of Kornat in the Kornati archipelago group of Croatia. It is separated from Kornat by the mile-wide channel of the Kornatski Kanal. Immediately NW is the island of Piškera with its 118 berth marina of Marina Piškera. The island offers just one anchorage, offering excellent shelter in virtually all conditions except very strong NE winds. The anchorage also has mooring buoys and two restaurants open during the season. As part of the Kornati National Park, a daily permit is required to visit the island. Ashore, the island is largely barren and uninhabited except for the restaurant staff during the season.
