| summary= The island of '''Ugljan''' lies just under three miles W of the city of [[Zadar]] on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], separated by the channel of the Zadarski Kanal. The island is around 12 miles long and barely two miles wide at its widest point. On its western side are the islands of [[Iz]] and [[Dugi Otok]] and to the SE is the island of [[Pašman]], to which Ugljan is joined by a road bridge with a clearance of only 16.5 metres. The island’s proximity to Zadar makes it a popular destination on summer weekends and its hourly ferry service enables a sizeable number of residents to commute to work in the big city. Most of the island’s harbours and anchorages are spaced along the NE side of the island, including two marinas at the island’s capital, [[Preko]] roughly in the centre of the NE coast and at [[Olive Island Marina]] in [[#U. Sutomiscica|U. Sutomiscica]] two miles NW.

Ugljan Island lies just under three miles W of the city of [[Zadar]] on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], separated by the channel of the Zadarski Kanal. The island is around 12 miles long and barely two miles wide at its widest point. On its western side are the islands of [[Iz]] and [[Dugi Otok]] and to the SE is the island of [[Pasman]], to which Ugljan is joined by a road bridge with a clearance of only 16.5 metres. The island’s proximity to Zadar makes it a popular destination on summer weekends and its hourly ferry service enables a sizeable number of residents to commute to work in the big city. Most of the island’s harbours and anchorages are spaced along the NE side of the island, including two marinas at the island’s capital, [[Preko]] roughly in the centre of the NE coast and at [[Olive Island Marina]] in U.

==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.
+
''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.

Zadar is three miles across the channel from Ugljan

The island of Ugljan lies just under three miles W of the city of Zadar on the mainland coast of Croatia, separated by the channel of the Zadarski Kanal. The island is around 12 miles long and barely two miles wide at its widest point. On its western side are the islands of Iz and Dugi Otok and to the SE is the island of Pašman, to which Ugljan is joined by a road bridge with a clearance of only 16.5 metres. The island’s proximity to Zadar makes it a popular destination on summer weekends and its hourly ferry service enables a sizeable number of residents to commute to work in the big city. Most of the island’s harbours and anchorages are spaced along the NE side of the island, including two marinas at the island’s capital, Preko roughly in the centre of the NE coast and at Olive Island Marina in U. Sutomiscica two miles NW.

Anchorage icon U. Prtljug [[Ugljan#U. Prtljug|U. Prtljug]] 44°06.339'N, 015°06.872'E

U. Lamjana Mala

U. Lamjana Mala/wiki/Ugljan#U._Lamjana_Mala
Anchorage icon U. Lamjana Mala [[Ugljan#U. Lamjana Mala|U. Lamjana Mala]] 44°02.646'N, 015°13.003'E
U. Lamjana Mala is the easternmost of two dagger-shaped inlets at the SE end of Ugljan, three miles NW of the Prolaz Mali Zdrelac, the narrow channel under the road bridge connecting the island to Pašman. There is an anchorage at the head of the inlet, past the fish farm and fishing boat mooring buoys. Anchor in 5.0 metres. Holding is moderate to good in sand and weed. The shelter is good in winds from all directions except SE.

U. Sabusica

U. Sabusica/wiki/Ugljan#U._Sabusica
Anchorage icon U. Sabusica [[Ugljan#U. Sabusica|U. Sabusica]] 44°01.369'N, 015°14.469'E
The anchorage of U. Sabuscica is situated close to the SE tip of Ugljan, just under two miles SSE of the anchorage of U. Lamjana Mala. It offers good shelter from winds from N round to SSE but is open to any W winds. Anchor on the N or S side of the bay, depending on wind direction, in 6.0 - 8.0 metres. Holding is good in sand.

U. Zdrelašćica

U. Zdrelašćica/wiki/Ugljan#U._Zdrela.C5.A1.C4.87ica
Buoy icon U. Zdrelašćica [[Ugljan#U. Zdrelašćica|U. Zdrelašćica]] (Prolaz Mali Zdrelac) 44°01.123'N, 015°15.191'E

Prolaz Mali Zdrelac is the narrow channel separating Ugljan from its close neighbour, Pašman Island. The anchorage is on the NE, mainland side of the channel.

Note: the road bridge over the channel has a clearance of 16.5 metres only, so the anchorage should only be approached from the SW side if your mast (and aerials!) give you an air draft of less than that. Pick up one of the mooring buoys here in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres or use your anchor. Holding is good in mud. Shelter here is very good in all conditions.

Places to Visit

Ugljan Island’s proximity to Zadar on the mainland makes it a popular weekend and holiday destination for local tourists and its main harbours of Preko and Sutomiscica are invariably busy with vessels of all kinds during the summer. Several of the settlements on the island boast historic palaces from wealthy 15th or 16th century Zadar families as well as even older churches. Just off the town of Preko is the island of Galevac, which has a 15th-century Franciscan monastery, and the hill above it boasts a Venetian castle.
