The harbour of Njivice is situated on the NW coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, around 21 miles by sea N of the island’s main harbour of [[Krk Town]].  A former fishing village, the town has a small and relatively shallow harbour with a pier alongside which a yacht can usually find space.  The harbour is exposed to winds from W and NW and would not be safe in strong winds from that direction.

The best berth for a visiting yacht (if there is space) is alongside the long commercial pier on the W side of the harbour.  Depths here are from 2.5 metres towards the root to around 3.5 metres at the end.  Most of the rest of the harbour, which is shallow, is occupied by small leisure and fishing craft.  Shelter in the harbour is good in winds from S and E but poor in northerlies.  A strong N or NW wind would probably render it untenable.

Contents

The harbour of Njivice is situated on the NW coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, around 21 miles by sea N of the island’s main harbour of Krk Town. A former fishing village, the town has a small and relatively shallow harbour with a pier alongside which a yacht can usually find space. The harbour is exposed to winds from W and NW and would not be safe in strong winds from that direction.

Local 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.

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.
