The small harbour of Zmanscica lies on the SE coast of the island of [[Dugi Otok]] off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], four miles NW of the settlement of [Sali]. Primarily a fishing port, its inner harbour is crammed with local small craft. However, the breakwater that protects the harbour from SE winds has been quayed and moorings laid for visiting yachts, together with electricity and water points. Shelter in the harbour is good from the prevailing winds but it is completely open E and strong NE or E winds would probably make it untenable. | The small harbour of Zmanscica lies on the SE coast of the island of [[Dugi Otok]] off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], four miles NW of the settlement of [Sali].

The small harbour of Zmanscica lies on the SE coast of the island of Dugi Otok off the mainland coast of Croatia, four miles NW of the settlement of [Sali]. Primarily a fishing port, its inner harbour is crammed with local small craft. However, the breakwater that protects the harbour from SE winds has been quayed and moorings laid for visiting yachts, together with electricity and water points. Shelter in the harbour is good from the prevailing winds but it is completely open E and strong NE or E winds would probably make it untenable.

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 Zmanscica. Once closer in, the harbour breakwater is easily identifiable by the legend ‘ZMAN’ painted on it. The harbour is entered from ENE. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres and on the quay 3.0 - 5.0 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
Visiting yachts berth stern or bows-to on the inside of the breakwater, where there are around 20 laid mooring lines in depths of 3.0 - 5.0 metres. There are water and electricity points along the quay. Shelter is good in winds from all directions except NE and E. If all the moorings are taken, it is also possible to anchor off N of the harbour in 4.0 - 5.0 metres. Holding here is good in sand and weed but the shelter is less good than in the harbour. Note that the inner harbour is shallow and unsuitable for yachts.
