[[Ploče]] is a large commercial port in the '''Neretvanski Kanal''', the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]]. It is the principal outlet to the sea for otherwise virtually landlocked Bosnia-Herzegovina. The harbour is situated two miles NW of the entrance to the '''Neretva River''', the largest river in the Adriatic. Although shelter in the port is good, the surroundings are not very attractive, with no concession to the needs of visiting yachts.

Ploče is a large commercial port in the Neretvanski Kanal, the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]].  It is the principal outlet to the sea for otherwise virtually landlocked Bosnia-Herzegovina.  The harbour is situated two miles NW of the entrance to the Neretva River, the largest river in the Adriatic.  Although shelter in the port is good, the surroundings are not  very attractive, with no concession to the needs of visiting yachts.  The harbour is best regarded as a port of refuge if caught in adverse conditions along this coast.

==Weather==
==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.  
+
''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.

Ploče harbour from the S

Ploče is a large commercial port in the Neretvanski Kanal, the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of Croatia. It is the principal outlet to the sea for otherwise virtually landlocked Bosnia-Herzegovina. The harbour is situated two miles NW of the entrance to the Neretva River, the largest river in the Adriatic. Although shelter in the port is good, the surroundings are not very attractive, with no concession to the needs of visiting yachts.

The harbour is best regarded as a port of refuge if caught in adverse conditions along this coast.

Presumably, the only suitable place for a yacht to berth is alongside the quay at the SE side of the harbour. You will be competing for space here with commercial vessels and it may be necessary to move off if instructed.

Most of the other quays around the harbour are occupied either by commercial vessels or by small craft moorings. Shelter here is good in all winds, although the bora can blow violently in the harbour.
