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.

The best berthing option for a visiting yacht is to go stern or bows-to the jetty on the W side of the bay using the anchor. Depths here are 4.0 - 5.0 metres and the holding is good in sand and weed. However, there are reports that the bottom is foul in parts of the harbour, so it may be wise to buoy the anchor (or watch very carefully where you drop it). Alternatively, if the harbour is not busy, it may be possible to go alongside. Shelter is good in all but fresh to strong winds from NW round to NE.
