The natural inlet of Rabac lies on the E coast of the Istrian peninsula in [[Croatia]], 11 miles NNE of the deep fjord of [[Zaljev Rasa]] and seven miles W of the island of [[Cres]].  At the head of the mile-deep inlet is the small town of Rabac and five kilometers inland to the NW is the popular tourist town of Labin.  The inlet offers a reasonably sheltered anchorage in moderate northerlies, but is completely open to any winds from the south.

| chartlet = y

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.

| imagetext= Inlet of Rabac in Istria
-
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.
+
| summary= The natural inlet of '''Rabac''' lies on the E coast of the Istrian peninsula in [[Croatia]], 11 miles NNE of the deep fjord of [[Zaljev Rasa]] and seven miles W of the island of [[Cres]].  At the head of the mile-deep inlet is the small town of Rabac and five kilometers inland to the NW is the popular tourist town of Labin.  The inlet offers a reasonably sheltered anchorage in moderate northerlies, but is completely open to any winds from the south.

The bay of Rabac is entered at [[image:World_icon.png]] {{Coord|45|04.26|N|14|009.48|E|}}.  There are no dangers in the immediate approach, although a heavy swell may be encountered in strong S winds which can make the anchorage untenable.  Shelter is reasonably good from all other directions, although a strong ''bora'' causes gusting down the inlet, especially on the W side.  The best anchorage is at the head of the inlet, either off the town of Rabac or off the beach half a mile W of the town.

==Berthing options==

==Navigation==
-
The best anchorage is off the town of Rabac, outside the small craft moorings, where depths are around 8.0 - 12.0 metres and holding is good in mud.  Alternatively, with anything W in the wind, better shelter can be found in the large, shallow bay half a mile to the W.  Depths here just outside the swimming area off the beach are 5.0 - 8.0 metres and holding is good in  sand and mud.  At quiet times, it may also be possible to go alongside or stern-to the quay at Rabac, avoiding the ferry berth. Depths here are 2.0 - 5.0 metres.
