| summary= The harbour of [[Jelsa]] is situated on the N coast of [[Hvar]] Island in [[Croatia]], a mile SE of the port and marina of [[Vrboska]]. The harbour is a ferry port and popular tourist destination, with an attractive location ringed with pine forests and some fine sandy coves along the neighbouring coast. Although the outer edges of the bay are now lined with tourist hotels, the old town at the head of the bay is still picturesque, with narrow streets and old stone houses and there is an interesting fortified church dating back to the 14th century.

The harbour of Jelsa is situated on the N coast of [[Hvar]] Island in [[Croatia]], a mile SE of the port and marina of [[Vrboska]].  The harbour is a ferry port and popular tourist destination, with an attractive location ringed with pine forests and some fine sandy coves along the neighbouring coast.  Although the outer edges of the bay are now lined with tourist hotels, the old town at the head of the bay is still picturesque, with narrow streets and old stone houses and there is an interesting fortified church dating back to the 14th century.  The harbour provides good berthing options for visiting yachts, with around 18 laid moorings on its N quay.  The S quay is currently being developed (July 2014) to provide up to 20 additional moorings.  Shelter is good in all but strong winds from N or NE.

==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.
+
''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.

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Jelsa.  Depths in the harbour entrance are 6.0 metres and on the quays 3.0 - 4.0 metres.  Shelter in good in all conditions except strong NE winds, which can make the harbour dangerous.  The harbour is subject to wash from tripper boats and ferries, especially during the morning.

==Berthing==
 +
Visiting yachts berth where directed. There are currently three main berthing options in Jelsa:
-
The best but most popular berthing spot is on the short projecting section of quay on the N side of the harbour, where there is space for around six yachts stern or bows-to on laid moorings.  You are close to two cafés here, so earplugs are an advantage if staying overnight.  Depths are 3.0 - 3.5 metres. There are water and electricity points on the quay.

+

-
The westernmost section of the south quay, including the short jetty, is used by ferries and tripper boats and there are no moorings here.   Outside the peak season of July and August, it may be possible to go alongside here.  The section of quay to the east, however, some 100 metres long, is currently (July 2014) undergoing refurbishment and is expected to provide some 20 additional moorings when complete. Water and electricity points are being installed here as well.  This quay is somewhat more exposed in N winds than the N quay (although both quays suffer from swell in fresh to strong N winds).

Harbour of Jelsa from E

The harbour of Jelsa is situated on the N coast of Hvar Island in Croatia, a mile SE of the port and marina of Vrboska. The harbour is a ferry port and popular tourist destination, with an attractive location ringed with pine forests and some fine sandy coves along the neighbouring coast. Although the outer edges of the bay are now lined with tourist hotels, the old town at the head of the bay is still picturesque, with narrow streets and old stone houses and there is an interesting fortified church dating back to the 14th century.

The harbour provides good berthing options for visiting yachts, with around 18 laid moorings on its N quay and up to 20 additional moorings are located at the E section of the S quay.

The shelter is good in all but strong winds from N or NE.

Charts

See Central Dalmatia.

Weather

See Croatia.

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Jelsa. Depths in the harbour entrance are 6.0 metres and on the quays 3.0 - 4.0 metres. The shelter is good in all conditions except strong NE winds, which can make the harbour dangerous. The harbour is subject to wash from tripper boats and ferries, especially during the morning.

Entrance

Stari Grad is the nearest summer port of entry. At other times of the year, Split and Korčula are the nearest year-round ports of entry.

Berthing

Visiting yachts berth where directed. There are currently three main berthing options in Jelsa:

The projecting section of the N quay

The best but most popular berthing spot is on the short projecting section of the quay on the N side of the harbour, where there is space for around 6 yachts stern or bows-to on laid moorings. Depths are 3.0 - 3.5 metres. There are water and electricity points on the quay.

The section of quay to the east, some 100 metres long, provides some 20 moorings. Water and electricity points are installed there as well.

This quay is somewhat more exposed in N winds than the N quay (although both quays suffer from the swell in fresh to strong N winds).

The westernmost section of the south quay, including the short jetty, is used by ferries and tripper boats and there are no moorings here. Outside the peak season of July and August, it may be possible to go alongside here.

Note: The port authority building with showers and toilets is located between the abovementioned sections of the N quay.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

None.

Anchorages

There is no suitable sheltered overnight anchorage close to Jelsa (although it is possible in settled weather to anchor outside the harbour in 7.0 – 8.0 metres, where the holding is moderate to good in sand and weed). Vrboska offers better overnight anchorages.

Also, see the Hvar Island page for other anchorages.
