The small port of Rovenska lies on the E coast of the island of [[Losinj]], immediately SE of the harbour of [[Veli Losinj]]  and 15 miles S of the Osor canal.  It is a useful port of call in settled conditions when the harbour of Veli Losinj is full.  Like Veli Losinj, the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.

==Local 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.
 +
 
 +
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.

The small harbour of Rovenska - Click for larger view

The small port of Rovenska lies on the E coast of the island of Losinj, immediately SE of the harbour of Veli Losinj and 15 miles S of the Osor canal. It is a useful port of call in settled conditions when the harbour of Veli Losinj is full. Like Veli Losinj, the harbour becomes untenable with strong N winds.

Local 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.

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.

Approach and Navigation

There are no dangers in the approach to Rovenska, although note that the end of the long breakwater that encloses the harbour from E should be given a good clearance. Depths in the harbour range from 5.0 metres in the inner harbour to 10 metres in the middle of the harbour. Shelter is good in all conditions except strong N winds, when it becomes untenable. The breakwater gives partial protection in strong E winds, but the harbour still becomes uncomfortable.

Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)

The nearest port of entry is Mali Losinj.

Berthing Options

The inner harbour is filled with local boats and it is unlikely a visiting yacht will find a berth there. The best position is on the outside of the short breakwater that protects the inner harbour from N, where there are several buoys laid with mooring lines tailed to the quay. Depths here are around 8.0 metres. Alternatively anchor and take a line ashore to the long E breakwater, where depths are 4.0 - 5.0 metres, or anchor in the middle of the harbour in 10-12 metres. The holding is good in sand and mud.
