The port of Kuklica is located on the SE coast of the island of [[Ugljan]], just over a mile NNW of the Prolaz Mali Zdrelac, the channel between Ugljan and its neighbouring island of [[Pasman]].  Built around a natural inlet, it is sheltered from all except strong SE winds.  In addition to hosting a busy fishing fleet, the harbour also caters for visiting yachts, with three pontoons on its N side, complete with laid moorings, water and electricity, offering some 60 berths.  It is also a popular tourist destination and the population of around 750 is swelled by several times that amount during the summer months.  Every 5 August for the Festival of Our Lady of the Snow a statue of the virgin is carried in procession from the eponymous chapel in the Prolaz Mali Zdrelac to Kuklica, accompanied by nearly 100 boats of all kinds.

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.

# '''Breakwater''' If the pontoons are full, it is possible to berth bows or stern-to the N breakwater using your anchor. Depths here are 2.5 - 3.0 metres.  The holding is good in sand and weed.  There are no facilities on the breakwater.

Depths here range from just under 2.0 metres at the root to 3.5 metres at the end of the jetty. Water and electricity are available. Charges (2016): HRK 25/metre. These berths are the ones normally used by visiting yachts. Shelter here is good except in strong E or SE winds. A passenger ferry/tripper boat berths on the end of this jetty.

These are normally reserved for local boats, but visiting yachts can berth if there is space on the outside of the most seaward of the jetties. Laid moorings at all berths. There are water and electricity points. Toilets and showers at the root of the jetty. Shelter is good here in most conditions, although strong SE winds can cause an unpleasant swell.

Kuklica harbour from thr S

The port of Kuklica is located on the SE coast of the island of Ugljan, just over a mile NNW of the Prolaz Mali Zdrelac, the channel between Ugljan and its neighbouring island of Pašman. Built around a natural inlet, it is sheltered from all except strong SE winds. In addition to hosting a busy fishing fleet, the harbour also caters for visiting yachts, with two concrete jetties, one on the NW side of the harbour and the other on the SW offering some 25-30 berths in total, complete with laid moorings, water, and electricity. It is also a popular tourist destination and the population of around 750 is swelled by several times that amount during the summer months. Every 5 August for the Festival of Our Lady of the Snow a statue of the Virgin is carried in procession from the eponymous chapel in the Prolaz Mali Ždrelac to Kuklica, accompanied by nearly 100 boats of all kinds.
