Local Weather

Winds along the Calabrian Coast of Italy are generally light in the summer months. The most notable feature is a SW seabreeze that kicks in in late morning and blows at little more than Force 2 - 4 until the evening. Thundery conditions are not infrequent during early Spring and Autumn, and associated winds can sometimes reach gale force and kick up a substantial sea. In winter, gales can blow from both NW and S and entry to and exit from some of the harbours along the coast can become hazardous.

Sources for weather information:

• There is a continuous (computerised voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation.
• The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16.
• Navtex weather forecasts are broadcast from stations at La Garde (Toulon), Roma and Cagliari (Sardinia).

Approach and Navigation

There are no dangers in the approach from either N or S. From S, the town is conspicuous, extending for over a mile at the foot of mountainous slopes and fringed by a long, sandy beach with a series of six rocky wavebreaks protecting it. The harbour itself is situated 500m NE of the town in a small natural cove, protected by a long breakwater. The harbour is entered from NE around the end of the breakwater. Shelter is good here in most conditions, although strong W and NW winds cause a surge.

Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)

Inside the harbour, the quays on the SE side are usually occupied by fishing vessels on laid moorings. Larger vessels moor alongside the quayed breakwater, and it is here that a yacht may be able to find an alongside berth during less busy periods. It may be necessary at peak times to lie alongside a fishing vessel (after requesting permission, of course). Depths at the quays range from 5.0 to 15 metres. The bottom is sand. Yachts planning to enter should first call the port office on VHF channel 16.
