The town of Biograd (or, to give it its full name Biograd na Moru) lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], approximately 15 miles SE of [[Zadar]] and opposite the southern end of the island of [[Pasman]].  The town’s main claim to fame is as the former capital of the mediaeval Kingdom of the Croats, which lasted from 925 to 1102.  Today the town is a popular holiday resort and ferry port and a good base for cruising the Kornati Islands 12 miles SW.  The town has two large marinas, [[Marina Kornati]] and [[Marina Sangulin]], which between them offer a total of over 1,000 berths.

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.  It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.

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.

Biograd harbour from NW
Click for larger view

The town of Biograd (or, to give it its full name Biograd na Moru) lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, approximately 15 miles SE of Zadar and opposite the southern end of the island of Pasman. The town’s main claim to fame is as the former capital of the mediaeval Kingdom of the Croats, which lasted from 925 to 1102. Today the town is a popular holiday resort and ferry port and a good base for cruising the Kornati Islands 12 miles SW. The town has two large marinas, Marina Kornati and Marina Sangulin, which between them offer a total of over 1,000 berths.

Local 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. It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.

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.

Approach and Navigation

Biograd is approached either from NW along the channel separating the mainland from the islands of Ugljan and Pasman or from S around the southern end of the island of Pasman. There are no dangers in the approach from NW other than the numerous islands in the Pasmanski Kanal. In the approach from S, note that the island of Sv. Katerina has shoals extending half a mile off its eastern coast. Also a green marker buoy indicates a shoal patch 200 metres SW of the entrance to the marinas. The buildings of the town and the masts in the marinas are conspicuous from some distance off. Both marinas are situated in the large harbour on the N side of the peninsula on which the town sits, which is entered from WNW between two long breakwaters.

Berthing options

There are two principal options for a visiting yacht, the Marina Kornati and Marina Sangulin. The Marina Kornati occupies the outer part and the Marina Sangulin the inner part of the harbour. There is also a small marina outside the harbour around half a mile to the SE, but this is owned by the Hotel Kornat and is exclusively for guests at the hotel.

Anchorages

Sv. Filip I Jakov

World icon.png 43°57.6′N, 15°25.7′E
The hamlet of Sv. Filip I Jakov lies just over 1.5 miles NW of Biograd. The small and shallow harbour here is usually filled with local boats, but it is possible in settled weather to go alongside or stern/bows-to the outer side of the breakwater. Shelter here is poor with any strong winds and untenable in winds from NW round to SE. Depths at the breakwater are 3.0 metres.

Turanj

World icon.png 43°57.9′N, 15°24.8′E
The hamlet of Turanj lies half a mile NW of Sv. Filip I Jakov. A small yacht may be able to find a space in one of the two tiny basins here but depths are little more than 2.0 metres. Shelter here is also poor with any strong winds and untenable in winds from NW round to SE.

Put Solina

World icon.png 43°55.74′N, 15°27.0′E
Put Solina is a small bay a mile SE of the main harbour of Biograd. It is a useful and attractive anchorage off a popular beach, but only in settled weather. The bay is completely open to winds from W round to S. Anchor off in 3.0 - 4.0 metres. The holding is good in sand.
