Trpanj lies on the W side of the Neretvanski Kanal, the channel between the mainland and the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], around 11 miles NW of the small harbour of [[Drace]] and eight miles W of the commercial port of [[Ploce]] on the opposite side of the channel.  Trpanj is a popular holiday resort, boosted by a regular ferry service from Ploce, and has a harbour which offers good shelter in the prevailing winds.

Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic 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 Velebitski channel.  It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.

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 most sheltered position is on the quay at the S end of the inner harbour, 50 metres W of the ferry pier. Go stern/bows-to using your anchor. Depths along this quay are 3.0 - 5.0 metres. The depths decrease the closer you get to the ferry pier and are less than 2.0 metres on the E side of the pier. Alternatively, go stern/bows-to the breakwater, where there are depths of 7.0 - 8.0 metres. Shelter is less good here, especially with anything W in the wind, and you will need to use your dinghy to get ashore.
