The town and marina of Lavagna are situated six miles SE of Rapallo on the E bank of the Entella River.  Although the town is not particularly distinguished, [[Lavagna Marina]] offers good shelter in most winds.  However, entry should never be attempted in strong onshore winds in view of the dangerous swell that prevails in these conditions (see marina entry).  Lavagna is a good base for getting major repairs carried out in view of the numerous boatyards here.

The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE seabreeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate. While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E. In winter, the tramontana, a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the libecchio is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.

The town and marina of Lavagna are situated six miles SE of Rapallo on the E bank of the Entella River. Although the town is not particularly distinguished, Lavagna Marina offers good shelter in most winds. However, entry should never be attempted in strong onshore winds in view of the dangerous swell that prevails in these conditions (see marina entry). Lavagna is a good base for getting major repairs carried out in view of the numerous boatyards here.

Local Weather

The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE seabreeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate. While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E. In winter, the tramontana, a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the libecchio is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.

Sources for weather forecasts:

  • There is a continuous (computerised voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation.
