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 only suitable berth for a visiting yacht is on the inside of the breakwater jetty at the SW end of the harbour, where there is space for 4-5 yachts moored stern or bows-to using their anchors. Depths along the jetty range from 2.0 metres at the root to 6.0 metres at the outer end. In effect it is not possible to moor near the root as there are small craft moorings along the adjacent quay.  If the harbour is quiet or outside the busy summer season it may be possible to lie alongside. There are a limited number of bollards on the jetty (just three), so it is easier lying alongside than on an anchor moor. Shelter on the jetty is good except in S winds, when there is an unpleasant swell in the harbour.
