The small harbour of [[Gradac]] lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], 17 miles SE of the bay of [[Igrane]] and six miles NW of the commercial harbour of [[Ploče]]. The island of [[Hvar]] is situated just six miles WNW of the harbour. Gradac, like most of the harbours along this coast, is a busy tourist resort with a fine sandy beach just E of the harbour.

Visiting yachts can moor alongside at the entrance to the small harbour or anchor off the beach in 6.0 - 8.0 metres in settled weather. Gradac harbour is sheltered from the prevailing NW winds, but untenable in strong southerlies.

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.

Gradac from S

The small harbour of Gradac lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, 17 miles SE of the bay of Igrane and six miles NW of the commercial harbour of Ploče.

Visiting yachts can moor alongside at the entrance to the small harbour or anchor off the beach in 6.0 - 8.0 metres in settled weather. Gradac harbour is sheltered from the prevailing NW winds, but untenable in strong southerlies.
