Contents

The resort of Kastela sprawls along a six mile stretch of shore on the N side of the Gulf of Kastela in Croatia, a diamond-shaped gulf extending from Split in the E to Trogir in the W and enclosed on its S side by the island of Ciovo, immediately S of Trogir.

In effect, the resort is a string of towns, each bearing the first name ‘Kastela’ and named after the seven defensive castle built along these shores during the 15th and 16th centuries. Two miles E of the main settlement of Kastela lies the new, purpose-built marina of Marina Kastela, which provides 420 berths for yachts up to 25 metres in depths of up to 8.0 metres.

Local Weather

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.

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.
