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#Weather|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.

Visiting yachts can pick up one of the row on mooring buoys on the W side of the bay, opposite to the ferry terminal on the E side.  Depths at the buoys are 6.0 - 8.0 metres.  Alternatively anchor wherever there is space, clear of the buoys, in 5.0 - 6.0 metres.  Holding is moderate to good in sand and weed.  Shelter on both the buoys and on anchor is good in all but strong N winds, which send in an uncomfortable swell.

The bay of U. Lucina from NW

The bay of U. Lucina is situated half a mile NW of the harbour of Brbinj on the NE coast of the island of Dugi Otok and ten miles off the mainland coast of Croatia, facing the island of Ugljan. Separated from Brbinj by a narrow isthmus, the bay is in an attractive setting, surrounded by wooded slopes, and offers good shelter in all but strong N winds. A regular ferry from Zadar calls here, but the facilities for visiting yachts consist of a row of mooring buoys along the W side of the inlet. There are a few facilities ashore, but more in the village of Brbinj a short walk over the isthmus.
