The large natural inlet of Zaljev Rasa lies on the E coast of the Istrian peninsula in Croatia, just under 16 miles NE of Cape Kamenjak at its extreme southern tip. The inlet extends for nearly six miles inland and provides several well sheltered anchorages on its eastern side. Best shelter is to be found in the small inlet of Uvala Tunarica on the E side of Zaljev Rasa about three miles from the entrance.
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.
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 sources of weather forecasting, see Croatia.

The bay of Zaljev Rasa is entered at Template:Poi coord. There are no dangers in the approach, although a heavy swell may be encountered in strong S winds. Shelter once in the inlet is good, although the bora can blow strongly down the inlet. In such circumstances, the small side inlet of Uvala Tunarica offers the best shelter. Other anchorages can be found at the small town of Trget four miles from the entrance or in the bays of Uvala Sebesnica or Uvala Teplica. A south-going current is usually experienced from the Rasa river, which flows into the northern end of the inlet.
Berthing Options
Once through the entrance, a visiting yacht has four options:
- Uvala Tunarica Template:Poi coord - The small inlet of Uvala Tunarica lies on the E side of Zaljev Rasa about three miles from the entrance. Anchor towards the N end of the inlet in 5.0 - 8.0 metres. The holding is good in mud and shelter excellent. There may also be space to moor up on the quay, where depths are 2.0 - 2.5 metres.
- Uvala Sebesnica Template:Poi coord - The cove of Uvala Sebesnica lies on the E side of the inlet about half a mile N of Uvala Tunarica. Anchor in 8.0 - 10.0 metres and take a line ashore to the bollards. Holding is good in mud and shelter good except in strong southerlies.
- Uvala Teplica Template:Poi coord - The cove of Uvala Teplica, also on the E side of the inlet, is a further mile NW of Uvala Sebesnica. Anchor in 10.0 - 12.0 metres and take a line ashore to the bollards. Holding is good in mud and shelter is good except in strong southerlies.
- Trget Template:Poi coord - The small town of lies on the E side of the inlet a mile N of Uvala Teplica. Anchor clear of the piers used by the fishing boats and take a line ashore. It may be possible to lie alongside the longer of the two piers during quiet periods. Shelter is reasonably good except in southerlies.
