+ | | summary= '''Cesenatico''' is a historic and charming canal port and marina situated on the Adriatic coast of [[Italy]], 14 miles NW of the port of [[Rimini]] and 22 miles SSE of the harbour of [[Ravenna]]. The harbour consists of a canalized port and two small basins, one of which contains a 300 berth marina, [[Onda Marina]], accessed by a shallow entrance channel. The relatively restricted depths in the entrance mean that the harbour is only suitable for entry in settled weather and close to high tide. Depths in the entrance are 2.5 - 3.5 metres and in the basins from 3.0 - 3.5 metres. The entrance is impassable in strong onshore winds. In spite of the depth restrictions, however, a visit to Cesenatico is highly recommended in suitable conditions as the port area (in the design of which Leonardo da Vinci reputedly had a hand) is very colourful and hosts an interesting display of traditional Adriatic fishing vessels. | ||

In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting. In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common. Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter). |

Cesenatico
| |
| |
Cesenatico is a historic and charming canal port and marina situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy, 14 miles NW of the port of Rimini and 22 miles SSE of the harbour of Ravenna. The harbour consists of a canalized port and two small basins, one of which contains a 300 berth marina, Onda Marina, accessed by a shallow entrance channel. The relatively restricted depths in the entrance mean that the harbour is only suitable for entry in settled weather and close to high tide. Depths in the entrance are 2.5 - 3.5 metres and in the basins from 3.0 - 3.5 metres. The entrance is impassable in strong onshore winds. In spite of the depth restrictions, however, a visit to Cesenatico is highly recommended in suitable conditions as the port area (in the design of which Leonardo da Vinci reputedly had a hand) is very colourful and hosts an interesting display of traditional Adriatic fishing vessels.

Weather
During the summer months, the prevailing winds in the Adriatic are light to moderate coastal sea breezes. In spring and autumn, northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the northern Adriatic, where the much-feared “bora” is caused by high pressure over the mountains to the NE coupled with low pressure over southern Italy. Fortunately, the fiercest “bora” is normally to be expected in the winter months. Thunderstorms are occasionally experienced in spring and especially autumn and can be accompanied by violent winds of gale force and above. Luckily they are rarely long-lasting. In the southern Adriatic, the “Scirocco”, a S/SE wind blowing up from North Africa which can last for several days, is more common. Unlike the “bora”, which can arrive without warning, a “scirocco” tends to build in strength over 24-48 hours, sometimes reaching gale force (especially in winter).
Sources for weather information:
- There is a continuous (computerized 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

A tall skyscraper about half a mile S of the habour is conspicuous from distance. Entry to Cesenatico is via a narrow channel between two short breakwaters extending NE from the shore. Depths at the end of the channel are only 2.5 - 3.0 metres, increasing to 3.0 - 3.5 metres as you pass up the channel. There is a shoal patch of only 2.0 metres barely 50 metres off the entrance and the approach should be made from NNW to avoid it.
