The town of Vodice lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], six miles NW of [[Sibenik]] and just over a mile E of  [[Tribunj]].  Originally a small fishing village, the town has expanded with the construction of several large hotels and an ACI yacht marina and is now one of the busiest resorts along the central Adriatic coast.  Yachts have the option either of the berthing in the town’s small harbour, where there are few facilities, or in the 290-berth Marina Vodice immediately NE of the town harbour.

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.  
+
''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.
