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 immediate approach to Splitska is free of dangers. There is a light structure on the E headland of the inlet. Depths in the inlet are 8.0 - 10.0 metres and at the town quay in the E branch of the inlet 3.0 – 4.0 metres. Shelter is good in most conditions, but poor with any winds from NW round to NE, when it is best to head to [[Pucisca]] or the anchorage of Uvala Luka.

Splitska harbour from NE

The harbour of Splitska lies on the N coast of the island of Brač in Croatia, two miles E of the ferry port of Supetar and one mile W of Postira. The harbour has a long history, being the principal harbour used for the transport of the stone used to build the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian in Split at the beginning of the 4th century AD. The bay of U. Splitska divides into two inlets, the E one of which contains the main harbour and the W cove offers a narrow but useful anchorage. The harbour and anchorage are both well sheltered in all but winds from NW round NE, in which they both quickly become uncomfortable and, if strong, untenable.

Communication

Navigation

The immediate approach to Splitska is free of dangers. There is a light structure on the E headland of the inlet. Depths in the inlet are 8.0 - 10.0 metres and at the town quay in the E branch of the inlet 3.0 – 4.0 metres. The shelter is good in most conditions, but poor with any winds from NW round to NE, when it is best to head to Pucisca or the anchorage of Uvala Luka.

Entrance

Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar, Vis and, if arriving from N, Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.

Harbour icon U. Splitska [[Splitska#U. Splitska|U. Splitska]] 43°22.627'N, 016°36.334'E

The E branch of the inlet where the town lies is quayed around its head. There are numerous small craft moorings along the inner part of the harbour and visiting yachts usually berth on the quay further out, where depths are 3.0 – 4.0 metres.

The northernmost part of this quay has three orange mooring buoys with lines tailed back to the quay, which can be used by yachts of up to 12 metres but are too close in for larger vessels. The next 50 metres S is equipped with seven laid moorings in depths of around 3.0 – 3.5 metres. Finally, the projecting part of the quay further S from here (in front of the cafe) has no mooring lines but space for 2-3 yachts to lie alongside (again, in 3.0 – 3.5 metres). Shelter on the quay is good in winds from W through S to NE but berths here quickly become uncomfortable in even moderate winds from WNW round to NNE.
Splitska inner harbour is usually full of local boats

The W branch of the inlet is a useful anchorage in all but moderate to strong northerly winds. Depths here range from 10 - 12 metres at the entrance to 3.0 - 4.0 metres at the head.

Anchor in suitable depths wherever you can find space. Holding is good in sand and weed. The shelter is good in all but strong N or NE winds.
