| - | + | The bay and tiny harbour of Trstenik lie on the S coast of the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], three miles NW of [[Zuljana]], 10 miles due E of the island of [[Korcula]] and nine miles N of the island of [[Mljet]]. A quiet and unspoilt settlement, the hamlet is surrounded by vineyards and produces a very drinkable local wine. Visiting yachts can either tie up on the inside of the short jetty at the W side of the bay, where there are depths of 8.0 - 10.0 metres, or anchor off in the bay. Shelter is good in the prevailing winds, but the bay is completely open S. It is, moreover, not a good place to be in a very strong ''bora'' (which fortunately only usually occurs in winter). | |

| - | + | 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 bay and tiny harbour of Trstenik lie on the S coast of the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, three miles NW of Zuljana, 10 miles due E of the island of Korcula and nine miles N of the island of Mljet. A quiet and unspoilt settlement, the hamlet is surrounded by vineyards and produces a very drinkable local wine. Visiting yachts can either tie up on the inside of the short jetty at the W side of the bay, where there are depths of 8.0 - 10.0 metres, or anchor off in the bay. Shelter is good in the prevailing winds, but the bay is completely open S. It is, moreover, not a good place to be in a very strong bora (which fortunately only usually occurs in winter).

Local Weather
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.
For sources of weather forecasting, see Croatia.
The bay is tucked into NW corner of the three mile-wide bay of Zuljana and only opens up in the approach from SSE. The short jetty has a red-painted light structure on the end, which is visible on approaching the bay, and the opposite headland has a conspicuous chapel on it.
Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)
The best place to moor is alongside the inner side of the stone jetty, where there are depths of 8.0 - 10.0 metres. Note, however, that a local ferry uses the end of the jetty and you should not tie up too near the end. Alternatively, a shallow to moderate draft yacht may be able to go stern/bows-to the quay immediately N of the jetty (but check the depths carefully first). Finally, it is possible to anchor off outside the small craft moorings. The depths here are 9.0 - 11.0 metres and the holding is good in sand.
