Sv. Petar, which protects it from N.  It is mostly shallow, but a visiting yacht may be able to anchor moor towards the end of the breakwater on the NE side of the harbour. Depths alongside are only 1.5 - 2.0 metres, but further out from the quay increase to 2.5 - 3.0 metres. Shelter in the harbour is good from all except E and SE winds.

The small harbour of Poljana is located on the NE coast of the island of [[Ugljan]] barely a mile N of the settlement of [[Preko]] and three miles W of the city of [[Zadar]] on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]].  The harbour lies inside the headland of Rt. Sv. Petar, which protects it from N.  It is mostly shallow, but a visiting yacht may be able to anchor moor towards the end of the breakwater on the NE side of the harbour.

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.

Poljana from S (note shoals off E headland)

The small harbour of Poljana is located on the NE coast of the island of Ugljan barely a mile N of the settlement of Preko and three miles W of the city of Zadar on the mainland coast of Croatia. The harbour lies inside the headland of Rt. Sv. Petar, which protects it from N. It is mostly shallow, but a visiting yacht may be able to anchor moor towards the end of the breakwater on the NE side of the harbour. Depths alongside are only 1.5 - 2.0 metres, but further out from the quay increase to 2.5 - 3.0 metres. Shelter in the harbour is good from all except E and SE winds.
