The town of Omis lies at the mouth of the river Cetina on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]] 15 miles SE of the harbour of [[Split]] and five miles N of the coast of the island of [[Brac]]. The area is spectacular, the river emerging from a deep gorge between massive mountain ranges, and the surrounding coastline is exceptionally attractive, with long, sandy beaches and clear, emerald waters.  Visiting yachts can proceed into the river if draft permits (depths range from 3.0 to 5.0 metres) and tie up alongside the banks or anchor off in the bay assuming there are no W or S winds forecast.

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.

The town of [[Omiš]] lies at the mouth of a deep gorge, through which the river '''Cetina''' enters the sea. The gorge is very conspicuous from seaward. In the approach from W, a S cardinal mark marks the end of a rocky spit off the headland of '''Dugi Rat'''.

{{Note}}The shallows extend offshore for nearly half a mile on the approach from W and a careful eye on the depth sounder is essential. There are usually a number of yellow buoys in place marking the shallows.

==Approach and Navigation==
+
The river entrance can be distinguished by a light structure on the end of the long spit on its E side. If approaching from the E or the S, note that there is a {{mark|type=danger|name=wreck|lat=43.4396|lon=16.69253|zoom=16}} just SE of the spit, marked on its S side with a red buoy. If proceeding up the river, move slowly as the depths can be variable, especially after winter storms.

Bay of Omiš from SW

The town of Omiš lies at the mouth of the river Cetina on the Adriatic coast of Croatia 15 miles SE of the harbour of Split and five miles N of the coast of the island of Brač. The area is spectacular, the river emerging from a deep gorge between massive mountain ranges, and the surrounding coastline is exceptionally attractive, with long, sandy beaches and clear, emerald waters.

Visiting yachts can proceed into the river, if draft permits (depths range from 3.0 to 5.0 metres), and tie up alongside the banks or anchor off in the bay assuming there are no W or S winds forecast.

River entrance, Omiš

The town of Omiš lies at the mouth of a deep gorge, through which the river Cetina enters the sea. The gorge is very conspicuous from seaward. In the approach from W, a S cardinal mark marks the end of a rocky spit off the headland of Dugi Rat.

Note: The shallows extend offshore for nearly half a mile on the approach from W and a careful eye on the depth sounder is essential. There are usually a number of yellow buoys in place marking the shallows.

The river entrance can be distinguished by a light structure on the end of the long spit on its E side.

If proceeding up the river, move slowly as the depths can be variable, especially after winter storms.

Berthing

Yachts visiting Omiš have the option either of tying up alongside on the town pier. The river quays was also advised by someone but in fact these days they are filled up with the local boats.
