| summary= The small harbour of '''Catanzaro''' lies SE of the town of the same name on the Ionian coast of [[Italy]], around 38 miles N from [[Rocella Ionica]] and 35 miles SW of [[Crotone]]. The "marina" consists of an area at the NE end of the town beach enclosed by two curved breakwaters with permanent moorings laid. Latest reports suggest that the breakwaters have been damaged by storms and the area is currently off-limits to navigation while reconstruction is underway.

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.

Catanzaro beach and ‘marina’

The small harbour of Catanzaro lies SE of the town of the same name on the Ionian coast of Italy, around 38 miles N from Rocella Ionica and 35 miles SW of Crotone. The "marina" consists of an area at the NE end of the town beach enclosed by two curved breakwaters with permanent moorings laid. Latest reports suggest that the breakwaters have been damaged by storms and the area is currently off-limits to navigation while reconstruction is underway.

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.
