The narrow inlet of Plomin Luka lies on the E coast of the Istrian peninsula in [[Croatia]], three miles NE of the larger inlet of [[Rabac]] and three miles W of the island of [[Cres]]. At the head of the mile-deep inlet is a large power station and the small village of Plomin, divided between a short quay on the N side of the inlet and the main village centre a steep 20-minute walk uphill. Depths are mostly too great for anchoring, but it may be possible in settled conditions to tie up on the quay if there is space among the fishing boats. The inlet offers a reasonably sheltered anchorage in settled weather, but a strong ''bora'' makes it very uncomfortable here and southerly winds send in a heavy swell. | The narrow inlet of Plomin Luka lies on the E coast of the Istrian peninsula in [[Croatia]], three miles NE of the larger inlet of [[Rabac]] and three miles W of the island of [[Cres]].

 Quay at Plomin Luka in Istria - Click for larger view |
The narrow inlet of Plomin Luka lies on the E coast of the Istrian peninsula in Croatia, three miles NE of the larger inlet of Rabac and three miles W of the island of Cres. At the head of the mile-deep inlet is a large power station and the small village of Plomin, divided between a short quay on the N side of the inlet and the main village centre a steep 20-minute walk uphill. Depths are mostly too great for anchoring, but it may be possible in settled conditions to tie up on the quay if there is space among the fishing boats. The inlet offers a reasonably sheltered anchorage in settled weather, but a strong bora makes it very uncomfortable here and southerly winds send in a heavy swell.
Local Weather
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.
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.
For sources of weather forecasting, see Croatia.

The inlet of Plomin Luka bay of Rabac is entered at Template:Poi coord. There are no dangers in the immediate approach, although a heavy swell may be encountered in strong S winds which can make the inlet untenable. Shelter is reasonably good from all other directions, although a strong bora causes violent gusting down the inlet and entry is inadvisable if such conditions are forecast. The only suitable anchorage for a yacht lies at the top of the inlet, past the jetty of the power station on the W side of the inlet.
Berthing Options
Depths in the inlet are mostly too great for anchoring, except at the head where space is in any case rather limited. It may be possible in settled conditions, however, to tie up on the quay. However, depths here are unknown and the quay is often occupied by fishing boats tied up three deep alongside.
