Skarda Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], two miles SE of the island of [[Premuda]] and half a mile W of the island of [[Ist]].  Under two square miles in size and relatively low-lying, the island supports a summer population of barely 20 inhabitants, swelled during the summer by holiday apartment occupants and day trippers from the mainland.  There are just two anchorages on the island, the open and rather exposed bay of '''U. Skarda''' on the N coast of the island and the sheltered inlet of '''U. Griparica''' at the S end.  The latter is equipped with mooring buoys for visiting yachts and a restaurant which opens in July and August only .

==Weather==

{{Infobox
-
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 open bay of U.

U. Griparica is a sheltered inlet on the S coast of Skarda, barely a mile across the island from the anchorage of U.

Anchorage icon U. Skarda [[Skarda#U. Skarda|U. Skarda]] 44°17.398'N, 014°42.016'E
The open bay of U. Skarda is situated on the N coast of the island, facing the islands of Silba and Olib about six miles N/NE. It offers little shelter in the prevailing NW sea breezes but is a pleasant anchorage in settled weather or in predominantly S winds. Anchor in 4.0 - 5.0 metres 100 metres NW of the small cluster of houses. The holding is good in sand. The shelter is only acceptable in settled weather and certainly with nothing N in the wind.

Anchorage icon U. Griparica [[Skarda#U. Griparica|U. Griparica]] 44°16.716'N, 014°42.884'E
U. Griparica is a sheltered inlet on the S coast of Skarda, barely a mile across the island from the anchorage of U. Skarda on the N coast. Shelter here is good in most conditions, although strong winds gust into the inlet. The anchorage becomes uncomfortable in fresh SE winds and would become untenable in a gale from that direction. There are mooring buoys laid in the inlet for visiting yachts and during July and August users are expected to patronize the restaurant ashore at the head of the bay. Depths in most of the rest of the inlet are too great for anchoring.
