Sestrunj Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] nine miles WNW of the city of [[Zadar]].  The island is sandwiched between the N ends of the adjacent islands of [[Dugi Otok]] and [[Ugljan]].  Just under four square miles in size and relatively low-lying, the island supports a population of around 45 inhabitants, swelled during the summer by tourists from the mainland.  There are two small settlements on the island, the village of Kablin, situated on the SW coast of the island just over a mile N of the southernmost tip, and the alternative ferry harbour of Hrvatin on the NE coast, which is used during strong S winds.  The tiny harbour of Kablin offers good shelter in the prevailing NW winds and in easterlies but is open S.  The harbour of Hrvatin is sheltered from S winds but is exposed in winds from NW round to E.  The island’s main village of Sestrunj is in the centre of the island, roughly equidistant from the two harbours.

Tiny harbour of Kablin from N

Sestrunj Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia nine miles WNW of the city of Zadar. The island is sandwiched between the N ends of the adjacent islands of Dugi Otok and Ugljan. Just under four square miles in size and relatively low-lying, the island supports a population of around 45 inhabitants, swelled during the summer by tourists from the mainland. There are two small settlements on the island, the village of Kablin, situated on the SW coast of the island just over a mile N of the southernmost tip, and the alternative ferry harbour of Hrvatin on the NE coast, which is used during strong S winds. The tiny harbour of Kablin offers good shelter in the prevailing NW winds and in easterlies but is open S. The harbour of Hrvatin is sheltered from S winds but is exposed in winds from NW round to E. The island’s main village of Sestrunj is in the centre of the island, roughly equidistant from the two harbours.

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.
