The tiny port of Veli Losinj lies on the E coast of the island of [[Losinj]], two miles SE of the island’s capital, Mali Losinj and 14 miles S of the Osor canal.  Like Mali Losinj, the village prospered in the 19th century days of sail and the harbour is ringed with the houses of former sea captains.  The baroque church of St Anthony of Egypt on the harbour is one of the finest on the island.  The harbour itself is quite cramped and is only suitable for a brief visit by yacht (more than 6-7 and it is practically full).  Shelter is reasonable but the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.

==Local Weather==

==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.

There are no dangers in the approach to Veli Losinj.  However, an approach in fresh to strong N winds is inadvisable and in any case the harbour would probably be untenable in such conditions. Depths in the harbour entrance are around 6.0 metres and alongside the outer quay a little over 2.0 metres.

The tiny port of Veli Lošinj lies on the E coast of the island of Lošinj, two miles SE of the island’s capital, Mali Lošinj and 14 miles S of the Osor canal. Like Mali Losinj, the village prospered in the 19th century days of sail and the harbour is ringed with the houses of former sea captains. The baroque church of St Anthony of Egypt on the harbour is one of the finest on the island. The harbour itself is quite cramped and is only suitable for a brief visit by yacht (more than 6-7 and it is practically full). Shelter is reasonable but the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.

There are no dangers in the approach to Veli Lošinj. However, an approach in fresh to strong N winds is inadvisable and in any case, the harbour would probably be untenable in such conditions.
