Ferries in Croatia operate all year round with a more frequent schedule during the summer months. In most cases, ferry lines operate according to the schedule announced at the beginning of the year\/season<\/strong> with little to no changes. Ferry delays are very rare<\/strong> despite the crowds in peak season, and most changes in departures are previously announced on the websites of the carriers<\/strong>. Still, maritime transport is affected by several factors such as weather conditions which can cause delays or even cancellations of the ferry lines between the islands in the Adriatic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are several winds blowing on the Adriatic sea but two of them can significantly affect the maritime traffic. The southeastern wind<\/strong> called jugo <\/i><\/strong>together with the southern wind o\u0161tro <\/i>appears in all seasons, but especially in spring, autumn and winter. This wind brings warmth and humidity followed by rain and often thunder. Jugo<\/em> has a tendency to gradually strengthen and raise waves to such a level that most of the ferry and catamaran lines have to be cancelled due to the safety of the passengers.<\/p>\n

The strength of the winds affecting the ferry departures<\/h2>\n

The other significant wind is called bura<\/strong> <\/i>which blows from the north<\/strong>. This wind is the complete opposite of jugo, so it brings dry air and clear skies. However, bura<\/em> has a tendency to reach speeds over 200km\/h which can cause such huge waves. Therefore, when a strong bura<\/em> is blowing, you can expect that most ferry and catamaran departures will be cancelled.<\/p>\n

Sometimes when these winds are moderate, you can also expect cancellations or delays. Catamarans and fast boats are the first to be cancelled<\/b> due to the bad weather as these boats are smaller and less stable on the waves. Ferries, especially those big ones such as Petar Hektorovi\u0107, Faros and Biokovo by Jadrolinija<\/a> are much more stable at sea and more resistant to high waves. Delays can be expected if the ship has difficulty mooring due to strong winds.<\/p>\n

It is good to know that such bad weather caused by the winds in Croatia is expected in autumn, winter and early spring. However, this is a rare case during the summer months and definitely not common to happen between June and September<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to make sure if your ferry operates on your travelling date despite the bad weather, we suggest you check the official website of the carrier. <\/strong>There’ll be updates for passengers in case of delays and cancellations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
