The small harbour of Rogac is situated roughly half way along the NE-facing coast of the island of [[Solta]] in [[Croatia]], facing the mainland town of [[Split]] 10 miles NE.  The harbour consists of a small, V-shaped inlet on the W side of a larger bay, quayed around its head.  Visiting yachts moor stern or bows-to on the quays on the N and S sides of the harbour, using the laid moorings provided, or on the mooring buoys provided by the Pasarela Restaurant in the S arm of the inlet.  The inlet is protected in winds from most directions but is exposed in winds from N and NE.  During busy periods, there is often little room for visiting yachts arriving late in the day.

==Weather==

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.

Yachts moor stern or bows-to the quays on either the N or S side of the inlet, past the ferry quay to starboard on entry. There is space for around 10-12 yachts stern or bows-to on the N side in depths of 3.0 - 4.0 metres. Mooring is to stout stainless steel mooring rings and there are two bowlines at each berth. The quay on the S side is used by the ''[http://www.sailingeuropecharter.com/en/fleet-bases/main-base-rogac-split SailingEurope charter]'' and, although there is room for a further 10-12 yachts here, berths are invariably full on Friday and Saturday nights.  Much of this quay is shallow, so wooden staging has been built out to allow mooring here.  Again, there are laid lines. Water and electricity are available on both quays and are included in the berthing price. Toilets and showers are available (no charge) behind the café on the quay.

There is space for around 10-12 yachts on Rogač yacht quay

The small harbour of Rogač is situated roughly halfway along the NE-facing coast of the island of Šolta in Croatia, facing the mainland town of Split 10 miles NE. The harbour consists of a small, V-shaped inlet on the W side of a larger bay, quayed around its head.

Visiting yachts moor stern or bows-to on the quays on the N and S sides of the harbour, using the laid moorings provided, or on the mooring buoys provided by the Pasarela Restaurant in the S arm of the inlet. The inlet is protected in winds from most directions but is exposed in winds from N and NE. During busy periods, there is often little room for visiting yachts arriving late in the day.

Navigation

There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Uvala Rogač, although the headland on the E side of the entrance is shallow for around 50 metres off. Depths in the harbour entrance are 10 - 12 metres and on the quays 4.0 - 5.0 metres.

Entrance

Split is the nearest all-year round port of entry. During the summer, Hvar and, if arriving from N, Primošten on the mainland are also ports of entry.

Berthing

Shelter in the inlet of Rogač is good in all conditions except with strong N or NE winds, when a heavy swell enters and nowhere is really comfortable.

The charter quay can be used when not full of yachts on handover
