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 best mooring position is on the inside of the jetty extending from the W side of the cove. There is space for three or four yachts to go bows or stern-to using their anchors or - if the bay is quiet - for one to go alongside (as long as you are prepared to raft up if someone else arrives). Depths on the jetty are 4.0 - 6.0 metres. The jetty is quite high and getting lines ashore involves a bit of a scramble. The holding is good in sand. Shelter here is good in all but N winds, which makes the harbour untenable if they are very strong.

The cove of U. Stiniva lies four miles E of the extreme Western tip of the island of Hvar in Croatia and two miles W of the entrance to the Starogradski Zaljev, the gulf leading to the harbour of Stari Grad.
