The harbour of Orebić lies on the S coast of the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], just two miles NE of the town of Korcula on the island of the same name.  A former maritime centre and now a popular tourist resort, Orebic is the largest settlement along this stretch of coast until arriving at [[Dubrovnik]].  In addition to its thriving tourist industry, the town is also a centre for exploring the Peljesac wine-producing area, one of the most productive in Croatia.  A small 240-berth marina caters for the large number of yachts cruising along the Peljesac channel to and from [[Dubrovnik]].  Shelter in the marina is good, although strong W winds send in a swell.

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.  
+
''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.

Orebic harbour from N

The harbour of Orebić lies on the S coast of the Peljesac Peninsula on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, just two miles NE of the town of Korčula on the island of the same name. A former maritime centre and now a popular tourist resort, Orebic is the largest settlement along this stretch of coast until arriving at Dubrovnik. In addition to its thriving tourist industry, the town is also a centre for exploring the Peljesac wine-producing area, one of the most productive in Croatia.

A small 240-berth marina caters for the large number of yachts cruising along the Peljesac channel to and from Dubrovnik. Shelter in the marina is good, although strong W winds send in a swell.
