| summary= The small harbour of '''Campomarino''' lies 25 miles SE of [[Taranto]] on the NE coast of the Golfo di Taranto i n [[Italy]], about two miles S of the town of Maruggio. The harbour is subject to silting and depths in the entrance are reported (December 2010) as little more than 1.5 metres. It should therefore only be visited by shallow draught yachts and in settled weather.

During the summer the prevailing winds in the Ionian are light to moderate SW or SE sea breezes.  In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the lee of high mountain ranges.  Winds in summer are generally light from the Straits of Messina until reaching the Golfo di Squillace between [[Roccella Ionica]] and [[Le Castella]].  With anything W in the wind, it tends to funnel down here over the mountains of southern Calabria, bringing strong gusts and raising an uncomfortable sea.  The conditions to avoid, however, when cruising this part of the Ionian coast are strong southerlies.  The harbours here are few and far between and none of them are really safe to enter in such conditions.  Further east in the Gulf of Taranto local sea breezes predominate during the summer, although a light to moderate northerly is not uncommon.  With strong southerlies, a heavy and uncomfortable swell develops across the whole gulf.

During the summer the prevailing winds in the Ionian are light to moderate SW or SE seabreezes.

Winds in summer are generally light from the Straits of Messina until reaching the Golfo di Squillace between Rocella Ionica and Le Castella. With anything W in the wind, it tends to funnel down here over the mountains of southern Calabria, bringing strong gusts and raising an uncomfortable sea. The conditions to avoid, however, when cruising this part of the Ionian coast are strong southerlies.

The harbour lies around 2.5 miles due E of Capo dell’Ovo. The breakwaters of the harbour and buildings of the town behind are evident on the approach. The harbour is entered from SW, being sure to keep to the centre of the channel, where least depths of 1.5 metres are reported (December 2010). The shelter is good except with strong winds from NW round to SW, when a swell rolls in.

Weather

During the summer the prevailing winds in the Ionian are light to moderate SW or SE sea breezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the lee of high mountain ranges. Winds in summer are generally light from the Straits of Messina until reaching the Golfo di Squillace between Roccella Ionica and Le Castella. With anything W in the wind, it tends to funnel down here over the mountains of southern Calabria, bringing strong gusts and raising an uncomfortable sea. The conditions to avoid, however, when cruising this part of the Ionian coast are strong southerlies. The harbours here are few and far between and none of them are really safe to enter in such conditions. Further east in the Gulf of Taranto local sea breezes predominate during the summer, although a light to moderate northerly is not uncommon. With strong southerlies, a heavy and uncomfortable swell develops across the whole gulf.
