| summary= The tiny harbour of '''Mattinata''' lies in the Golfo di Manfredonia on the Adriatic coast of Italy, 14 miles SW of [[Vieste]] and 10 miles NE of [[Manfredonia]]. Built specifically as a leisure harbour, a major project was initiated in 2009 to develop the harbour into a small marina providing berths for smaller yachts up to 15 metres in length. Some of the pontoons are now in place and other facilities are due to come online during 2011.

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).

Mattinata harbour prior to the development

The tiny harbour of Mattinata lies in the Golfo di Manfredonia on the Adriatic coast of Italy, 14 miles SW of Vieste and 10 miles NE of Manfredonia. Built specifically as a leisure harbour, a major project was initiated in 2009 to develop the harbour into a small marina providing berths for smaller yachts up to 15 metres in length. Some of the pontoons are now in place and other facilities are due to come online during 2011.

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).
