The tiny harbour of Zavala is situated on the S coast of the island of [[Hvar]] in [[Croatia]], two miles due N of the small island of [[Scedro]].  The harbour is protected by a pier on the E side and a natural breakwater in the shape of a rocky spit on its W side.  There is a good beach at the head of the bay, and consequently the bay is ringed with holiday homes and its beach thronged with bathers during the hot summer months.  Smaller yachts can tie up on the pier here and larger ones anchor off in the bay.  Shelter is good in all but S winds.

==Weather==
==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.

Harbour of Zavala from S

The tiny harbour of Zavala is situated on the S coast of the island of Hvar in Croatia, two miles due N of the small island of Šćedro. The harbour is protected by a pier on the E side and a natural breakwater in the shape of a rocky spit on its W side. There is a good beach at the head of the bay, and consequently, the bay is ringed with holiday homes and its beach thronged with bathers during the hot summer months.

Smaller yachts can tie up on the pier here and larger ones anchor off in the bay. The shelter is good in all but S winds.
