The village and small harbour of Silo is situated on the NE coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, two miles SE of the landlocked inlet of Zaton Soline and and a similar distance SW of the mainland town of Crikvenica.  The harbour is at the head of a wide bay, Uvala Stipanja, which is protected on its E side by a long, narrow spit.  There is a tiny and shallow marina at the root of the spit, which is invariably filled to capacity with local motor boats, and a small harbour E of the village itself which offers some protection from northerly winds behind a short breakwater.

==Local Weather==
+
==Charts==
-
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.
+
''See [[Krk#Charts|Krk]]''.
-
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.

Silo harbour from the N

The village and small harbour of Silo is situated on the NE coast of the island of Krk in Croatia, two miles SE of the landlocked inlet of Zaton Soline and and a similar distance SW of the mainland town of Crikvenica. The harbour is at the head of a wide bay, Uvala Stipanja, which is protected on its E side by a long, narrow spit. There is a tiny and shallow marina at the root of the spit, which is invariably filled to capacity with local motor boats, and a small harbour E of the village itself which offers some protection from northerly winds behind a short breakwater.
