The harbour of Senj lies on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] in the Vinodolska channel, opposite the SE end of the island of [[Krk]] and close to the point where the Vinodolska channel becomes the Velebitski channel.  The town itself is ancient, dating back well before the Roman period, and well worth visiting.  The harbour, however, does not offer good shelter and is a place to be avoided if there is any risk of a ''bora'' or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from N round to SW.  In settled weather, however, it is a fascinating place to visit and little frequented by cruising yachts.

==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, especially along the Velebitski channel and its continuation NW, the Vinodolska channel.
+
''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.  For this reason, most yachts cruising the Velebitski and Vinodolska channels hug the mainland shore, where there is better shelter in the event of a sudden ''bora''.

==Approach and Navigation==

==Navigation==
-
Senj is approached either via the Vinodolska channel leading under the road bridge linking the island of [[Krk]] to the mainland, which has a clearance of over 50 metres, or through the narrow channel between the S end of Krk and the small island of Prvic.  The harbour lies on the N side of a headland dominated by a conspicuous 16th century castle and consists of a small bay partly protected on the N side by a short breakwater.

Senj harbour from W

The harbour of Senj lies on the mainland coast of Croatia in the Vinodolska channel, opposite the SE end of the island of Krk and close to the point where the Vinodolska channel becomes the Velebitski channel. The town itself is ancient, dating back well before the Roman period, and well worth visiting. The harbour, however, does not offer good shelter and is a place to be avoided if there is any risk of a bora or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from N round to SW. In settled weather, however, it is a fascinating place to visit and little frequented by cruising yachts.
