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.

The approach to Murter from N or W, which is the direction from which most cruising yachts arrive, is difficult and should not be attempted without an up to date chart or in extreme weather conditions.  None of the passages between the islands can be described as safe in heavy weather.  For a map showing the options for approaching Murter from this direction, click on [https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=210561298658189797082.0004cfa5ad7df4369a1fd&msa=0&ll=43.84697,15.579729&spn=0.038007,0.065832 Approaches to Murter harbour].

-
The approach from S, between Murter Island and the mainland, presents no special difficulties other than the numerous islets to be avoided.  Note, however, that the channel under the lifting bridge at Tisno has least depths of just under 2.0 metres, so is unsuitable for yachts of moderate to deep draft.  A strong current of up to 3.0 - 4.0 knots runs through the passage at certain states of tide. The bridge opens daily from May to the end of August at 0900 and 1700 and at other times on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only at 0900.

====Approach from W====

There are a few shallow passages between a chain of islets located between ''Vrgadski Kanal'' and ''Pirovački Zaljev''.

U. Hramina (bay of Murter) from S (Marina Hramina on the right)

The port of Murter lies at the head of a wide bay on the N coast of the island of Murter in Croatia, separated from the mainland by the mile wide channel of Pirovacki Zaljev.

Sheltered from N by a chain of small islets, Murter is the largest settlement on the island and has a history dating back before the Roman era. The ruins of the Roman village of Colentum, dating back to the 1st century AD, can still be seen NE of the village.

The village offers good facilities for visiting yachts in the shape of the 370-berth Marina Hramina on the NE side of the bay, a series of jetties on the S side where a yacht may find space alongside and a good anchorage off the village in the bay itself. Shelter in the bay is good except in very strong N/NE winds and in the marina excellent.

In the village is an office of the Kornati National Park Authority, where permits to visit the park can be purchased at a discount to the price charged on arrival.

Navigation

Approach from N

The approach to Murter from the N, which is the direction from which most cruising yachts arrive, is difficult and should not be attempted without an up to date chart nor in extreme weather conditions.

Approach from W

There are a few shallow passages between a chain of islets located between Vrgadski Kanal and Pirovački Zaljev.

Danger: None of the passages between the islands in the approaches can be described as safe in heavy weather.

Approach from S

The approach from the S, between Murter Island and the mainland, presents no special difficulties other than the numerous islets to be avoided. Note, however, that the channel in the approach to Tisno shoals from over 12 metres to barely two metres once past the pier to port at the S end of the town.

The height if the closed bridge is 2 m. Strong SE of NW winds and tide could cause a current up to 4 knots. The bridge opens daily from May 15th to September 15th at 0900 and 1700 and at other times on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only at 0900.

Entrance

Šibenik is the nearest all-year port of entry. During the summer, Primošten is also a port of entry.

Tourism

The beautiful harbour of Betina

Murter has a long history, dating back to Illyrian times. Visible traces of subsequent Roman occupation can be seen in the ruins of the town of Colentum at the NE end of Murter bay, which flourished during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.

The village and harbour of Betina, 20 mins walk SE, are delightful. The quays are lined with traditional, lateen-rigged gajetas and there are several good restaurants.
