| - | + | The small harbour and marina of Agana (usually and confusingly known by its local name of Marina) is situated in a tiny inlet on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], seven miles W of [[Trogir]] and the same distance due E of [[Rogoznica]]. Originally a small and rather neglected fishing settlement, the town has been given a boost with the construction of the 143-berth [[Marina Agana]] and the conversion of its main claim to fame, the 16th century fortified tower that protects the entrance, into a luxury hotel and restaurant. Cruising visitors must berth in the marina here. Shelter is excellent in all but strong SE winds, which send in an uncomfortable swell. | |

The small harbour and marina of Agana (usually and confusingly known by its local name of Marina) is situated in a tiny inlet on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, seven miles W of Trogir and the same distance due E of Rogoznica. Originally a small and rather neglected fishing settlement, the town has been given a boost with the construction of the 143-berth Marina Agana and the conversion of its main claim to fame, the 16th century fortified tower that protects the entrance, into a luxury hotel and restaurant. Cruising visitors must berth in the marina here. Shelter is excellent in all but strong SE winds, which send in an uncomfortable swell.

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 inlet of Marina and Marina Agana is situated at the extreme W end of Zaliv Marina (Marina Bay), the T-shaped bay that extends E as far as Trogir. The bay is entered between the island of Ciovo, at the N side of which lies Trogir, and the mainland. There are no dangers in the approach along Zaliv Marina, although there are shallows inshore in parts and a yacht should keep at least 200 metres off. The inlet of Marina and Marina Agana is clearly identifiable from the 16th century tower at the entrance.
