The village and harbour of Stomorska lie on the NE coast of the island of Solta in Croatia, just under three miles SE of Rogac. The harbour consists of a V-shaped inlet open N but partially protected on its NE side by a short rocky spit. The E side of the inlet and the narrow head are quayed and yacht berths provided along the deeper part of the quay. Visiting yachts moor stern or bows-to, using the laid moorings provided. There are water and electricity points on the quay. The inlet is protected in winds from most directions but is open N and berthing here is inadvisable in strong winds from this direction. During busy periods, there is often little room for visiting yachts arriving late in the day and it may be necessary to go on to the anchorages of U. Necujam two miles NW or U. Gornja Krusica just over a mile SSE.

Local 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.
There are no dangers in the approach to Stomorska. The inlet can be difficult to spot, but a light structure on the headland on the E side of the entrance is a good guide. Once due N of the inlet, the village and harbour are clearly identifiable. Depths in the approach are 12-15 metres and at the quay 3.0 - 4.0 metres.
Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)
Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar and, if arriving from N, Primosten on the mainland are also ports of entry.
Berthing options
Mooring lines have been laid along the quay on the E side of the inlet. Visiting yachts moor here stern or bows-to using the lines provided. Depths range from 3.0 metres towards the head to 4.0 metres further out. There are some water and electricity points on the quay. Shelter here is good in all conditions except with strong N winds, when a heavy swell enters and the harbour becomes untenable. The berthing area was extended in 2011 so depths at the head drop to 2.0 metres. Water and electricity available the full length of the quay now

Anchorages
