Mooring: The bay is sheltered from the bora. Only westerlies are apt to raise a disagreeable sea inside the harbour since the bay is open to the W. A violent sirocco may suddenly raise the sea level inside the harbour. Yachts can moor at the S shore in depth of about 3.5 m. Smaller yachts can berth at the E and N shores in depth of about 3 m, using the four-point moor. The waterfront is lined with bollards.

During the bora yachts can find shelter and anchor in Zavala and Tiha coves, whereas the coves Graciste, Sv Ante and Maslinica provide shelter from the sirocco.
The depth alongside the car-ferry landing-place and the breakwa- ter are about 4.5 m.

Mooring: The bora and the sirocco are felt within the inlet but yachts at moorings are sheltered from them. South-easterlies raise a slight sea. A strong sirocco causes a rise of water (in exceptional cases up to 2 m), which enters the harbour with great velocity and may be dangerous to moored yachts. Smaller yachts can moor alongside the quay or use the four-point moor (depth from 2.53 m). The anchorage ground is situated in the outer part of the harbour under the N shore (depth 2427 m). Poor holding ground. During the bora yachts are recommended to secure ashore as well.
