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. | 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 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). Shelter is good except with strong winds from NW round to SW, when a swell rolls in. | The harbour lies around 2.5 miles due E of Capo dell’Ovo.

The harbour is generally full of local boats berthed on three long and two short pontoons in the western basin and its associated quays. You need to squeeze in wherever you can. The eastern basin is used by fishing boats. Depths at the pontoons range from 1.0 - 4.0 metres. There are spaces for around 300 vessels on the pontoons, with a theoretical maximum size of 20 metres. Laid moorings at all berths. The pontoons and quays are operated by the Torre Moline company. Toilets and showers. | The harbour is generally full of local boats berthed on three long and two short pontoons in the western basin and its associated quays.

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

- The same forecast is given in Italian and English on VHF coastal stations following a notification on channel 16
