The harbour of Tkon lies on the SE coast of the island of [[Pasman]] in [[Croatia]], three miles from the SE tip of the island and just over a mile from the mainland town of [[Biograd]]. It is the main ferry port of the island, with regular car ferries (10 mins) to  Biograd. Around 100 metres NW from the ferry pier is a small harbour with several basins, the innermost part of which is crammed with small leisure craft and fishing boats. Along the breakwater on its N side, however, are laid moorings for some 20-25 yachts in depths of 1.5 - 2.5 metres.  Shelter in the harbour is good in all conditions.

==Local Weather==
+
==Passages==
-
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 [[Croatia#Passages|Croatia]]''.
-
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.

Around 100 metres NW from the ferry pier is a small harbour with several basins, the innermost part of which is crammed with small leisure craft and fishing boats. Along the breakwater on its N side, however, are laid moorings for some 20-25 yachts in depths of 1.5 - 2.5 metres. The shelter in the harbour is good in all conditions.
