The harbour of U. Triluke lies on the SE coast of the island of Dugi Otok off the mainland coast of Croatia, a mile NW of the settlement of [Sali]. The harbour lies immediately SE of the village of Zaglav and the harbour is also known by this name (confusingly, since there is another hamlet known as Zaglav at the anchorage of U. Lucina 12 miles NW). Provision for visiting yachts is not as good as most of the other harbours along this coast, but the main reason yachts call here is that U. Triluke has the only fuel berth on the island - which is therefore very busy during the season.

Local 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.
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.
There are no dangers in the immediate approach to U. Triluke, but there are shoal patches in the approach from NE off the island of Lavdara and between the two islets a mile NW of it. The harbour is protected from SE by a long breakwater joining the mainland with the islet of Hrid Pohlib, which has a light structure on the end. The harbour is entered from NE, leaving the islet and breakwater to port. Depths in the entrance are around 20 metres and on the quay 3.0 - 4.0 metres.
Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)
Sali is the closest seasonal port of entry. The nearest year-round port of entry is Zadar.
Berthing options
Once past the outer breakwater a yacht should turn to starboard and head for the NW corner of the harbour. The fuel berth is situated here on a quay with depths of just 2.0 metres alongside. N of the fuel berth is a quay where a yacht can moor bows or stern-to using one of the laid mooring lines. Alternatively use your anchor to moor in the cove in the SW corner of the harbour. Depths here are 6.0 - 8.0 metres and the holding is good in sand and mud. Shelter in the harbour is good in winds from all directions except NE.
